quick question

[FWELR]

Okay, so we all know it costs us 250 dollars to get a wii, for those of us who have one. My question to you is: how much profit does nintendo make on that 250? For example, lets say it costs them 125 to make a wii, and ship it out to retailers. Then they'd make 125 dollars per wii. Because let's face it, they can't make these thing for free, and they'd obviously want to sell it for more than it costs to make it. How much do you think they make per wii?

Graphics chip: $29.60
CPU: $13.00
DRAM: $7.80
Optical disk drive: $31.00
Power supply: $11.30
Manufacturing cost: $19.50
Cost total: $158.30

Add in the prices for a remote, nunchuk, and wii sports it totals to around $210.

Profit of $40

nintendo is actualy the only company that makes profit on their sold consoles, all the others get it from games and accesoires
