Nintendo makes $6 profit on each Wii sold According to Macquarie Securities analyst David Gibson, Nintendo makes $6 USD operating profit on each Wii unit sold, making it the only “next-gen” console to make a profit on the actual unit.
The analyst also noted that Sony makes a decent sized loss on each PlayStation 3 sold and that Microsoft has the potential to break even on each Xbox 360 console sold, but still may not.
Besides making profit on each console, the Wii sells the most software of the new consoles, selling an estimated 220 million units for 2008. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are estimated to sell under 130 million units each.
Nintendo also capitalizes on its position in the market by selling 60 percent of the Wii games itself compared to only 15 percent for Sony and 30 percent for Microsoft. The Wii’s top selling games are all developed by Nintendo.
Hiroshi Kamide, director of research at KBC Securities, Japan, added, “The key thing about Nintendo is they want their things to be at price points that anyone can respond to.”
‘Jasper’ Xbox 360s finally available According to a flooding of posts over at xbox-scene, it appears that the cooler-running Jasper-based Xbox 360 consoles have begun arriving in stores featuring the highly anticipated 65nm GPU which should significantly reduce RROD failures.
A quick way to note if your new console is indeed a Jasper-based model is to check the power supply. A Jasper will use 12.1A power supplies, while all current models draw 14.2A.
Looking at the serial number can also give you an indication as it is assumed that any model made on October 23rd 2008 or later is a Jasper model.
DSi sales in Japan top 500,000 for the month According to recent data from Enterbrain, Nintendo’s latest handheld, the DSi, sold 535,379 units in Japan for the month of November, its first full month of sales.
The handhelds’ predecessor, the DS Lite, sold 550,000 units in its first month.
Overall, Nintendo’s star performing console has sold just under 25 million units to date.
The handheld will not be reaching Europe or North America until at least April however, with Nintendo hoping the DS Lite will sell well during the holidays.
