no, just no
get the facts before posting shitty articles...not you Ryan ;)

I am confused, why did they cut the price then?

They are tender, cuddly, fluffy bronies and they love everybody, this is why.

Edit: yeah, I know, you want a proof, here is a photo of Miyamoto at a brony convention

if they are selling it at a loss, that means the wiiu pad is really expensive, right?

This is the quality that Nintendo delivers to its customers.

I can't lie, and mind you, I've no definitive proof, but, for example, the little I can guess from a side view, and through that hideous pink unitard, of waist and hips shape makes me really fear that's a dude.

A dude wearing a unitard is a total party foul. IF that is a guy, he should be escorted to the local mental hospital for a manditory 72 hour evaluation. Worst of all, it looks like he's flitting about collecting flower pollen or something.

I'm going to start a "Dudes Against Dudes Wearing Unitards While They Flit About Collecting Pollen"(DADWUWTFAC) organization. Anybody else interested in joining? This sort of thing needs to stop right here.
