The major difference is that you can't buy new controllers 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.

So what? Theres a lot of accessorys for the WiiU and Nintendo gets a LOT of money from it, that's what i meant. I didn't start this dumbass discussion, galaki did, i was just laughing at his post.

He was acting like Sony is the only one who gets money off of accessorys.

Why are you trying to argue with me. Is it wrong for a company to make money?


I really can't think of a single Wii U accessory that supposedly decreases losses apart from the Pro controller. But that's something different.

Only allowing specifically Vita designed memory cards with a higher price was Sony's way of dealing with losses. Nintendo could have done the same thing with the 3DS, but they didn't. They chose to give the users the option to use any SD card with the right size. Nintendo gained nothing from that decision. (Except some happy consumers.) Sony basically showed their desperation there.

No, there is nothing wrong with companies dealing with losses or making money the way they choose. This whole thing was started by you making an invalid parable which I see you have taken back now.
