Bull.
I don't believe they're selling it at a loss at all. And that Bloomberg article you linked doesn't say anything about them taking a loss on hardware.
With articles from tech experts at launch saying that the system costs Nintendo about $100 to make, I can't even consider it a possibility that all those people would have been off by almost 70%.
They're selling the DSLite for like $90-$100 and Nintendo is making a profit on that. There's a practically no chance that the 3DS costs them twice as much to make as the DS.

Well, Nintendo's not telling us what it costs to manufacture one 3DS, so the "stupid speculation" which seems to come from people who probably knows their stuff is all we got.

I think that makes it pretty likely, that we are going to see a 3DS lite/XL/plus/enhanced in the near future.

I'll wait till the next iteration, which judging by the timeline should be here in time for Christmas.
Anyone with a bit of sense should have seen that the $250 price tag was not sustainable given the lack of games in the near term and the Vita release later this year.
Anyone who can remember further back than last Thursday might also recall the early days of the Nintendo DS. A system that spent almost a year floundering on the market until the games finally started to arrive.
Nintendo should have held off the 3DS launch until at least Ocarina was ready and lowered the prices of the old DS hardware in the meantime. They also overestimated the hype surrounding the 3DS, pricing it higher than they were initially planning.
Still, unless the Vita absolutely dazzles at launch, with an impressive launch line-up and excellent battery life, the difference in price alone now is going to make for a fight. If Vita doesn't have some solid games ready at launch they'll have a hard time of it, as the 3DS will have at least 3-4 "must have" titles by then and be in a much better position all around.

Their own fault. If you get a next time, don't gimp out your system and the devs will come and play. The way things are going, if 3DS fails along with WiiU, Nintendo may have to exit the console market.
That might not be such a bad thing, considering their recent efforts. I'm sure Sony and Apple will be circling to pick their carcass clean.

Protip: Anyone talking about a major console developer dropping out of hardware and going software only is a fanboy.
Also an idiot.

I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, BidsOut.cÔm
