>nintendo didnt get the market share they wanted but they were the only company actually making profits off of hardware.
I don't buy it. They were selling their consoles for far less than the competition and the GameCube was no slouch in performance by comparison. Debuting at an already low price, there is no way were they making any profit after the first price drop let alone the second. Most of the GameCubes life was at a $99 price point at retail and the stores weren't selling it as a charity, they got a cut of that $99. Unless there was a magic machine where Nintendo input leaves and dirt and it spat out completed GameCubes, they were absolutely losing money on every console.

>WTF, PS2 has Final Fantasy X, Metal Solid 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, and Silent Hill 2 this year?!?!?!? Why am I sitting here playing Luigi's-hump-dressers-in-a-haunted-mansion tech demo that ends after 2 hours?!?!
>WTF, PS2 can play PS1 games and use PS1 controllers?!? Why can't the GameCube play N64 games?
>WTF, the PS2 is getting support for online games this year?!? Why can't my GameCube play Tony Hawk online??!?
>WTF, the controller is missing a second Z button, clickable sticks, a select button, and
Buying the shitcube is the biggest regret of my life. Absolute dogshit console with 0 redeeming qualities. Anyone shilling this slop is a mentally retarded cubie who had no other games growing up.

Nintendo used to sell Gamecubes for $99. They're not selling at a loss anymore, this is just pure greed

Could this happen to Switch 2?

Why don't game consoles go down in price any more even though they make more money than ever?
