Would You Like It If The Wii U Was A Normal Next Gen Console?

just a hint. even if they sold the controller at a profit, the retail price would still be bellow $100. that means it costs about $70 tops to manufacture, only $50 more than a regular controller. and as I said, wii u can run any 8th gen game with it's curent specs, raising them would only mean waste of money, like sony and MS did.

My guess is the R&D to make the near latency free wireless video signal transmission work wasn't free. R&D is probably factored into the price of the controller.

That proclaimation at the end is utterly worthless too, lol. The Wii U can run any 8th gen game in the same way the 3DS probably could in theory run any Wii U game (see Mario 3D Land to Mario 3D World). You'd just have the scale the game down considerably.

the game would have to be scalled down by A LOT. wii u can run anything from ps4/xone without many downgrades, with an irrelevant difference between the versions.
