So you're telling me the PS4 costs less than the WiiU to produce....

No, nobody is telling you that.

The $296 "bill of materials" are the double of the $148 of the Wii U (only the console, without the tablet controller):

1.how the fuck does a controller with a 10 year old screen cost 100 dollars?

2.if the WiiU in total costs 248$, why is Nintebdo selling them at a loss?

1. where do you get $100 from?

2. The "bill of materials" are only a part of the total costs. You have to engineer the product & software, put the components together, box the product, ship the product, advertise the product, pay taxes for the product, let the retailer have his cut,..

So isnt the PS4 supposed to have these very same things?
