actually, Nintendo made loads of money with the Gamecube, they made more than either Sony or Microsoft (to add spark to the "who won the war in
that gen.?" debate). You see, yes GCN sucked in quality but it was cheap as hell for Nintendo to mass-produce, and with its low price lots of people bought it along with some key games such as SSBM. (Not to mention the money Nintendo made with the DS).
On the other hand, although Sony was selling more PS2's they were losing money from the system, in the end they broke even from the game revenue.
And Microsoft lost a shitload of money on the Xbox, those were pretty expensive to make, obviously Microsoft never went bankrupt because, well, they're microsoft and can afford to lose that kind of money, especially now that its paying off with the 360.
Now with the Wii obviously it is cheaper to buy and make than the other systems, meaning more money for Nintendo. But for the PS3, when you factor in the Blu-ray player I heard it costs Sony $900 to make 1 PS3, so take that for what you will
