I *know* Apple is still making money (perhaps not as much as the Mac, but still making money none-the-less) off the Apple II gs. Nintendo, if they are like other video game manufacturers does *not* make the money off their machine. They are a software house. They make their money selling software (cartridges). It wouldn't be fair to compare the two systems. (of course, I would like to see Apple make money selling software for the Gs). The other point to make is that Apple would sell a *ton* of GSes if they sold them for under $100 like the Nintendo.
