Vindication! Cube NOT a money maker

You guys that continually insisted that the cube broke even or made a little owe me an appology.



Im waiting.

"Because little things mean a lot..." -ohbfrank--screwy-:o

It doesn't say the Cube lost money. It says that they didn't hit their sales target.

Um, am I missing something? I don't see anywhere in the article where it states how much it costs to make each gamecube?

It's says they lost money due to "a 40 billion yen one-off loss on its $5 billion of dollar-denominated assets and weak demand for the GameCube."

This has already been posted in another thread BTW, just with a different source.

IMHO. I read that whole article, and it doesn't exactly agree with your statment. It's all about the value of the stock and the foreign exchange losses that it took. The only time that it mentions the gamecube, it's all about the weak demand for it. It doesn't state that it broke even or not.

Wow, some people are trying so hard to get an erection by stomping on the Cube they are misreading articles :up:

Agreed, seems like a rehash of the other thread...

everyone really needs to let go of this - both bashers and defensive people.

I agree with Pixy, you people just don't try hard enough anymore.

:D

HA HA HA XBOX RULEZ!

You forgot "!!1!one!!"

hmm... all this article says is "Topic starter looks like ass in front of people that actually know how to read."

On numerous occasions Nintendo has stated that they always make money on their console sales. So if you are talking about Nintendo losing money on per console sales like Sony and MS are percieved to do then you'd be hard pressed to find info that supports it. Although since the $99 price drop there are no statements from Nintendo... so perhaps this is the first time.

Vindication? What the hell is wrong with you? Why is your life so dependant on this?

Ask his bookies..

He achieved vindication on a VIDEO GAME MESSAGE BOARD! One of the greatest goals a man can seek in his lifetime.

Bravo, my good man.
