I think the exact opposite, Nintendo needs to make a bare bones system that is 250$ Day 1.

 

Wii U GamePad

  • Touch screen: $24.75
  • Main electronic components: $30
  • Battery, wifi chip, plastic casing: $24.50
  • TOTAL: $79.25

Wii U Console

  • Processor/gpu: $40.00
  • Optical drive: $17.00
  • Flash storage: $6.00
  • RAM: $6.00
  • Wifi chip, Bluetooth, plastic casing, other components: $79.38
  • TOTAL: $148.38

GRAND TOTAL: $227.63

Spend 40$ on the CPU&GPU,.... spend 79$ on the gamepad...... makes sense?

 

I feel like Nintendo if they do aim for a 250$ day1 consol, they should drop the gamepad.

Ive said it so many times..... I really hope they do the most sensible thing.

It could have saved the wiiu but nintendo is too afraid/lazy to update every game, but its too late now anyways
