Pretty sure the early reports of the Wii U gamepad were that it was costing Nintendo nearly $100 at the start. They've been able to whittle that cost down, but there's a reason they're not for sale yet. Too expensive to put on the market right now as they'd be 3 figures unquestionably.

For real?

Yes, it's got a lot of nifty tech built into it. Obviously it's not that expensive anymore, but there's a reason why you can't just buy one by itself.
