I think its time to bring back the 'Real Cost board comparsion' for the Wii U since the system is starting to have multiple hidden costs (oh go buy the pro controller, oh go buy the usb internet dongle, oh go buy another external drive), its getting out of hand. The Wii U does get to have a positive column for the HDMI cord though, Iwata mention in the unboxing Nintendo direct that the cost of getting one is expensive. I find that funny because most hardcore people don't buy expensive HDMI cables. Buying expensive HDMI cables like Monster cables is something soccer moms do to impress their husbands (Look honey the Best Buy sales guy told me to get these with the TV).
