David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

There are so many things wrong with this article (the Wii is $250, not $260; the razor-razor blade model involves selling the razor at a loss, which the article makes clear that Nintendo doesn’t do) that I’m not sure if I believe anything from it, but the fact that Nintendo only makes $6 from every Wii sold is rather fantastic. I had assumed it was more, but I guess when you think about it, $6 pure profit is fairly good. Doesn’t give them much room to lower prices though.
