Controllers are normally sold for huge profit. I doubt the wii U controller cost more then $80 to manufacture, in fact I remember a breakdown of its components coming to $50. like any accessory, its gonna be sold with a huge profit margin, for an accessory which at the moment is considered a complete luxury and with no mass market demand, expect nintendo to be selling at over %200 of its cost.
Wii system itself probably cost just under $199 taking into account the fact that it has no HDD and is using 2008 technology. |
The Wii is using technology that came out after it was released?

I meant wii U* :)

Ah, still one problem that blows this claim out of the water. The one fact we know about the CPU is that is uses Power7 technology and the Power7 didn't come out until 2010.

I didn't know any info was released on the CPU. I just looked it up, the Wii U versions is underclocked to save on production cost though. They're working with fairly modern tech but relatively mid-range specs. I'd still bet it costs just under $200
