Nintendo News | Wii Launch Details, Profit Margins & DS Production Numbers [news]

I think thats a good move. It gives Nintendo time to look at the market in a few months and set a price accordingly.

Also, good news about the DS production numbers. Seeing as the demand far outweighs the supply (well in Japan of late anyway), surely it can only be seen as a positive.

Wii will not adversely impact on profit margins.

The increase in DS consoles produced is a good move, they're gonna be needed!

I dont really understand this bit, can someone explain what it means?

The cost of manufacture and low pricepoint will not have a major negative impact on Nintendo's profits for the forthcoming fiscal year, unlike Sony and MS who lose LOTS of money on their systems"

Well said!

Hazuki said correctly! And that's good to know. Has Nintendo ever released a console they took significant loss on?

all good news and having that many DS' in production can only be a good thing

Abit dissapointed that we have to wait until September for the price to be revealed!! :-|

But good news for the DS!!

Do they really make that many consoles a month?

2.2 million a month...That's quite a lot
