So, How Much Money Does Nintendo Make From Each Wii Sold?

It's a well-known fact that Nintendo turn a profit on every Wii they sell. What's not well-known is how much profit they make. Nintendo won't tell us, but Macquarie Securities reckon they know.
And, according to a report in Forbes citing Macquarie data, it's $6 per Wii. Bear in mind that's an analyst calculation, not hard fact, but it's likely not too far off the mark.

Oh Kotaku is so funny.
<sarcasm> $6, really? So much? Never ever! More like 4$, it is the Wii we are talking about, can't be to positive news </sarcasm>[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

I believe the claim has always been they made money from launch so if this was hardware costs alone that would be very surprising especially with the volumes sold.
