How sarcasm doesn't work in text.

Didn't mention profit, did I?

Yes, because Nintendo receive the full retail value from every purchase, while the retailers happily pass them on for free.

But in a scale of importance... it's bottom.

OK, I'm just being pedantic.

Ah yes I did. My bad.

£80 per GameCube. £90 per GBA.

80 x 500,000 = £40,000,000
90 x 600,000 = £54,000,000

Total = £94,000,000.

Works, doesn't it? Unless I made a typo initially. Erk.. hope not.

Who pays £850+ for a GC or GBA? In Britain a GC is only £80. And we are like the most expensive of all markets.
