Trying to sell the system at cost is a joke when companies like MS and Sony are taking 100-200 dollar loses per unit. Click to expand...

Problem is that Nintendo can't bleed like Sony and MS can. They can afford to take a loss, but not the kind of enormous losses Sony, for example, took on the PS3 initially. They have to launch with profitable or nearly-profitable hardware.That said, I think they should take the hit now on the system and accept some kind of immediate loss for the sake of the long-term viability of the console. The Premium at £199 was perfect for me, and that's the price I think they need to be hitting - or the appropriate equivalent in other territories.
