If the Upad is $150, then doesn't that mean the console is also $150

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 U system itself probably cost just under $199 taking into account the fact that it has no HDD and is using 2008 technology.

I don't think its power consumption would be that low if it would use 2008 technology.
