We already know that Nintendo loses money on every console sold so how exactly do you say that it is overpriced? I don't understand that logic.

Well, first of all the lose money because of the gaming pad which no one wanted. Its like the kinect. It increases the price of the package which people would rather not have.

The pad itself isn't very expensive (controller + resistive screen really isn't much more pricey than conroller) and I'd say you are dead wrong that no one wanted the Gamepad. It actually adds a lot to games when used well (similar to motion controls) whereas Kinect at best is an optional peripheral. I will say that this is pretty much impossible to argue as it is extremely subjective...

PS: I added an edit to my last post for anyone who didn't notice.

I do want the GamePad, can't imagine buying a Wii U without it. Still, this price is just too high and the package is not worth it. The lack of games targeted at me is making the situation even worse. I don't like Kinect, as it gives nothing for a core gamer like me. I love the WiiMote and like the idea of GamePad, as they add to the core experience, even if just by giving me Remote Play.
