^ the wiiu selling price... $300-$350 is actual selling at a loss for the system. the manufacturing costs and costs of the hardware exceed the $300 sticker price meaning that they aren't going to be making money for at least the first quarter IF in fact it flies off the shelves this quarter but rather after march they'll start to gain profit. it's like it costs you 5 dolars to get a bag of lemonade for 10 cups but you sell them at 75 cents.. you end up making up the money you lost and don't actually make a profit till the 5th cup.
