Actually I did take all of those things into consideration in my original analysis in this thread. Did you actually read what I wrote, or are you just denying it with no evidence of your own to the contraray?

Which one?

There are the rumors of it having a lower powerd processor. So maybe it got a fairly decent GPU and an upscaled Wii CPU.

The GPU is probably the most expensive thing in the consle and a retail 4870 is 139 now. 1.5 GB of RAM wuold run about $20 retail. The controller we can assume is 30-40.

I say its possible.

Then, of course, there is the fact that everything they have will not only be custom built but also be part of a special deal with the given companies so they won't pay nearly as much to manufacture them as it would cost for someone like me to buy it retail.

I can them maybe spending $90 on the GPU in the console out of their own pocket. The RAM is probably high quality so I will keep 20 for that. 30 and ship the controller. 30-40 for the CPU.

That would put costs from them at $190.

"The controller we can assume is 30-40", "1.5 GB of RAM wuold run about $20 retail"

Those are not analysis. Those are guesses.

And you still haven't answered my questions. Which GPU is the base model for the one on the WiiU? How is it going to be made? What kind of RAM will it use? How much does the propietary optical disc drive cost?
