Sure, slightly better specs would factor in but so would an controller that is "valued at $79.25." http://www.destructoid.com/cnn-estimates-the-cost-of-wii-u-s-parts-to-be-228-249435.phtml |
The pad probably adds a significant amount, but another issue may be the ability to cost down the system. Cost cutting requires big investment. With the system selling as slow as it is, investing in cost downs may lead to more losses.
