If it wasn't for the game pad thing the Wii U would cost MUCH less than it does now. The only reason it's even as expensive as it is, is due to the game pad which costs like 100$+ all by itself.

Like I told Turkish, the GamePad shouldn't be that much by itself. All it is is a controller with a cheap camera and screen. It shouldn't cost more than $60 to make,but because of markup these days, it would probably be $100.

The repair cost alone for the Gamepad itself is 85$. If you were to buy it separetly then it cost over 100$. In Japan it was around 170$ for the gamepad alone (not the whole console).
