You wouldn't rather have it for free?
Why do you think Nintendo will sell it for $5?
Figure, Walmart, would need to make atleast $1. So we're down to $4.
The distributors would need to make at least $1. So were down to $3.
The patent holder will want atleast $1. So were down to $2.
The shipping, packing, and packaging will cost at least $1... (If you've ever had a business and looked at the cost of packaging, you will know that this is pretty cheap, compared to the fancy schmancy packaging Nintendo puts it's electronic devices in.)
So, the silicone, the circuit, the plug, the most advanced accelerometer ever put into mass market production, the plastic, the printing of Nintendo logo and FCC information, the consumer information manual that is required with all electronic devices, the safety manual, the new silicone condom thingy (to fit over the Wiimote w/ the attachment) will all cost <$1 including the labor of all those involved?
This doesn't even include any of the fixed and recurring variable costs like tooling factories, salaried employees, power, taxes, etc. etc. etc.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
