retail for a SEPARETE STAND ALONE GAMEPAD WITH GOOD PROFITS, not the one included with the video game.
No it's the repair/replace cost. Which should be close to actual cost. The retail cost is $150.
wii u gamepad is a 3ds without a 3d screen, cpu, gpu and RAM memory, OR in other words: a regular controler + speakers, touchscreen, microphone, motion sensors... guess how much that would cost? not even close to $100.
The screen is a touchscreen and quite large (6 inches). 3DS touchscreen is only 3 inches.

Look at all those chips. $5-$10 each most likely.
It has 256MB of RAM. Microphone. Gyro. Wireless. Accelerometer. Magnetometer. Speakers. Camera.
Dualshock: 1000mAh battery. Gamepad: 1500mAh. Battery capacity is expensive.
Xbox wireless controller is already $50. Add the RAM, big touchscreen, battery, camera, sensors, and so on and seriously tell me it's not $100.
