I really, really, really, reaaaaaaaally doubt it costs more today to produce than when it launched.

DDR3 RAM, something that's likely the equivalent of a 450 GFLOP GPU, three cheap ass CPU cores, and a very low resolution touch panel with a $3 battery pack aren't components that are magically going to increase in cost.

There's nothing exotic or crazy in the Wii U design other than maybe the 32MB eDRAM.


Thats fine that you reaaaaaaaally doubt it. You are some random guy on the internet with no inside information and most likely no real life expeirience with a similar product/company. I don't have either of those also. However, what I do have is an economist wife who talks to me all the time about that garbage and 3 math classes that deal with supply and demand curves... all of which say if you produce less you make less... at a certain point if you produce more you make less. It's called law of diminishing returns and it is very real
