And the leader is... Nintendo?

Ugh...all I was saying was that it isn't as simple as saying "the wiiu is not making as much money as the xbone" just because the latter sells more. Yet somehow you completely miss out on basic economy by throwing out some very simple truisms that don't apply in this situation.
-if you put everything into calculation, neither company is making money on their consoles yet. The costs of research and development alone range in multiple millions of dollars. If you would apply your narrow vision of a company's attitude, then nobody would ever build a console, as those things only become profitable after some years (depending on sales).
-please don't make simple assumptions on what I was saying. Just because one person buys a wiiu and a game is profitable for nintendo doesn't mean they actually make a profit. Again: there are many more costs out there for the developer that the customer doesn't know about (who do you think pays for all the unsold wiiu's?).
-also: please don't assume I'm an idiot. It may shock you, but I already knew that nobody wants a negative number in their bank account, or that you can't have "negative profit" (yeah, that sentence doesn't make sense if you just read it by itself. Read it in the context, will you?).
-the wiiu is researched and build with a price in mind. They know that their customers care more about a decent price for the thing than about the most fancy graphics card (those who do get a pc...those who want something in between get an xbone or PS4).
-people complain about the prices all the time because they like complaining. But in reality, none of the consoles are expensive for what they offer*.

So...yeah. Of course I understand that you don't have the money for it. But sorry to say, but what are you doing on this thread, then? Gaming consoles (especially next gen ones) are a luxury item. It SHOULD be the first thing to skip if you're low on cash.

*the ouya may be an exception because AFAIK it doesn't sell with a loss. But I admit I don't know the profit margin on such a console.

I'm on this thread because I posted it. But yeah, I see what you're saying.
