Nintendo is not making a profit from the console, please give me your sources to tell us otherwise. The technology is certanly not outdated, eg, the wii has 88 megabytes of t1ram and 16mb of sdram, now you may not think that is not much, but the xbox 360 will be limited on it's 512mb of ram (this is because that number is most important to textures and xbox360's ram isn't enough to really push what it wants (1080i/p) which means the xbox 360 will have 4x less ram then it would running 480p (roughly) meaning that it could be summed up at 128mb of ddr ram now this doesn't include that the t1ram is much much faster then standard ddr ram (it's the same speed as l2 cache in your processors that make a huge difference between 1 and 2mb of the stuff.)
