theres a huge disparity between a device that only has a screen, memory and a few buttons in  comparison to a device which has accelerometers, mics, a cam, touchscreen, sensor bar etc 

"Ebook readers with far more features can also be picked up for less than $100 today"

you still haven't demonstrated that as the cheapest device you linked while impressive at that price doesn't have half the features of the wii u controller


A ebook reader also has a CPU, internal memory, an internal mass storage device, memory card readers, usb ports and several other components that a "dummy" device like the Wii U controller won't have ...

Outside of a touch screen there is almost nothing (that we know about) that would make the Wii U controller significantly more expensive than what the Wiimote was when it first launched.

apparently cameras, mics, sensor bars, etc don't cost anything to incorporate into controllers that would otherwise cost $50 - $60 but regardless discussing this any further is pointless i guess we have to agree to disagree on this
