Billions to be precise
Nintendo doesn't lose money on it's consoles traditionally. Every other firm does. Nintendo is actually proportionately the biggest profit maker. Did you know that? Did anyone here know that? Well, now you do.
Nintendo will not fail. Even in third place with GameCube (which wasn't as far behind Xbox as everyone thinks), they still made more money per unit. MS Lost 2 billion in the first two years of Xbox life... That's horrendous for any company except MS who's plan is a long term one. But even so... it's horrific business.
