    Im nearly 100% sure Nintendo is making a profit on every wii sold otherwise they would not be racking in as much cash as they have in the last few months.

    Nintendo did mention a lot prior to launch that theirs would be the only profit-making hardware right out of the box; however thats undoubtedly down to the fact its not technically a "next-gen" console (in terms of the technology used) - however this plays to Nintendo's credit; managing to not only hang with the "big-boys" using older hardware, but also kicking the ass of one (PS3... despite Sonys inflated sales figures) and closing down on another quickly (360)

    Is this why Bill Gates, is no longer ranked the #1 richest man in the world? ;)

    Thats a lot. MS isn't taking the blame for it. I have a launch 360 console and it stopped working right after the 1 year warrenty. Lucky ArcticPro over there his still works. (me and Arctic used to live next door to each other)

    This is obvious for game console. Sony lost A LOT OF MONEY with Playstation 3.

    Bill Gates doesn't care about being ranked as world's richest.

    Let's see why:

    Bill Gates (Rank - 3rd) = $58 Billions

    World's Richest = $62 Billions



    BUT

    See how easy Bill makes money:
    -Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated more than $20 Billions. of course its nonprofit but hey; this man can make real quick money.

    Tell the world's richest to donate his $20 billions. :)
