You're forgetting that Nintendo is also losing money on each Wii U sold. Only difference is that Sony is probably taking a loss because of the hardware (8gigs of GddR5 isn't cheap) and Nintendo because of it's tablet controller. And no they don't cost $20 to build. Expenses related to the Wii U's touchscreen-equipped GamePad seem to be a major contributor to the Wii U's overall manufacturing costs as well. While individual GamePads won't be available at launch in North America, they will be sold a la carte in Japan for ¥13,440 (about $172), or more than half the total price of a system and GamePad together. Microsoft will try to compensate this by bumping up the XBL subsription fee, and it they succeed then it won't be a problem for them to drop the price. |
okay, keep dreaming. also doesnt xbox controllers retail for $50? by your logic they cost 1 third of the full package lol. now go find another intentionally inflated price to post here.
