Only $100,000 per-month is less than 20 to 30 peoples wages per-month. Got more than people to pay than you're bringing in? Then they're losing month every month.

He said they were making a profit of $100,000 per month - not bringing in $100,000 in revenue.
 
Wii-U was a gamble, and it looks like it will not pay off. System is tanking and will continue to tank, and Nintendo will likely start writing titles for Xbox and/or Playstation and/or mobile devices.

Kind of irrelevant though, if that same team of 20 to 30 people could be working on something bringing you in a lot more, what would you pick?

You'd sell your little $100k a week support service to another company that hasn't got anything better and then you'd focus on the better paid work. It's not greed it's just about keeping your company afloat because my point was that $100k a week sounds like a lot until you realise it wouldn't keep your company afloat for even one whole week once support and ancillary staff, rent, power, equipment etc is all factored in.

 
Right, I'm just pointing out he said "profit".
