Forums - Sales Discussion - Miyamoto: PS4/Xbox One "easily $100 more if they came with Gamepad"

So those of us who don't care for the Gamepad now have further evidence to blame the thing for the system's pricetag. Yay!

Ouch. Sad but partly true.

I think without GamePad the basic setup for Wii U could be launched at $250.

That's really cheaper.

I thought the gamepad was what made Wii U so much more expensive



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Thank god they don't have one.

Sony/MS would probably make an even worse case for the value of the gamepad than Nintendo have managed to do, so it's a good thing they don't come with one.

All I see here is that Nintendo could've had a $200-250 Wii2.

Sony have one per $250? lol

Lol, case in point.

It's always nice to have support rather than just supposition!
