...and how is the Wii U gamepad similar to PSV's memory card system?

Am I missing a joke here?

PSV's memory cards are expensive and Nintendos Wii U gamepad is also expensive and both consoles are sold at a loss. So, The only way to get the money back is by game/accessory sales like controllers, memory cards.......etc

Go back to Galaki's post and you'll get the joke.


The major difference is that you can't buy new game pads for the Wii U. Or at least not yet. And when you can, you can still only buy a single one.

Nintendo does not get any morey back from using the game pad. Chances are the console would have been sold at profit if it wasn't included in the price. If the gamepad wasn't mandatory and was found in stores, then it would make sense to say the controller is there to decrease losses. As it is now, it only creates losses.
