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.



thei can charge as much as they want for replacement's, doesn't change the fact that it's not even close to that cost.

Could you address the rest of it please?

you mentioned 7 itens in the range of 5-10 dollars (wich I don't it's that much), that sums up to around $50. add the usual controler stuff (plastic, buttons, battery) and BAM, $70 it is.

p.s. where did you take the 256 mb of ram from?
