Just wondering about this, we know from comments from Iwata that the Wii U has a power draw of about 30-35w while running a game.
It's also speculated/likely both the CPU and GPU for the Wii U are manufactured on the 40nm process.
It looks like about half the entire Wii U casing is the disc drive:
If you axe the disc drive and shrink the chipset to say the 22nm manufacturing process (talking about maybe a couple of years down the line), would integrating the Wii U chipset right into the controller be possible? Tech heads? What say you?
The iPad 3 consumes about 10.3 watts when running Infinity Blade, if Nintendo can get their power consumption down to 10-15w (factoring in the screen as well), a portable Wii U should be possible in theory, no?
