keep in mind that the gamecube was being sold for $50 near the end of its life span

considering the wii is an enhanced gamecube 1.5 in hardware features and their selling it for $200, their making rediculous amount of profit on their consoles right from infancy while the ps3 was being sold for less than it cost to manufacture it in the first 3 years.

not to mention their controller peripherals where if you add up the wiimote, motion plus and nunchuck (adds up to $70+) its definitely more than what a ps3 controller or even a wireless 360 controller which now sells for $30

and their first party titles that sells millions of copies, yet their production value is considerably cheaper than lets say Gears of War or GoW3 which rumoured to have cost $90 million to make, at $60 a game, Nintendo is sitting on huge amount of cash every holiday season.
