Acquire Currency! posted:Serious question, it's going to sound like I'm just needlessly making GBS threads on the Wii U but; if sells remain poor for it will there be a chance that Bayonetta 2 won't remain a Wii U exclusive? I was slightly disappointed when I found that out. Considering it's been confirmed that Nintendo are at least partially bankrolling the actual creation of the game? Incredibly unlikely to say the least.

Space Racist posted:Nintendo isn't selling Wii U at a loss, though, they're specifically trying to make money on the system itself. That's not factoring in unsanctioned price cuts by UK retailers, but Nintendo isn't playing the same game as Sony and MS on console pricing. They are, actually, and have admitted it a couple times now. Reggie initially said it only took one game purchase for them to be in the green, but I think that was busted a while back on that and the loss is more than that in reality.

Space Racist posted:Really? I could've sworn I'd read that they still weren't taking a loss on the Wii U. Not to say I think you're incorrect, but do you have a source link? I tried (briefly) to find one before posting but my Googling just turned up a bunch of retailer sites. Went looking and I can't find anything really recent, but here's a statement from a bit before the launch from one of their financial briefings. Here's the relevant bit: Nintendo's briefing posted:
edit: whoops, beaten!
