"It serves a minimal function in most games, adds a huge cost in development, increases the price of the system for consumers"

I stopped reading after that.

The "adds huge cost in development" bit is complete bullshit, but the other 2 seem pretty bang on.

Sorry I should edit that. I mean in the cost of the system to produce. Miyamoto said it was ~$90US from memory

Edit: In terms of raw materials it's $79.25. The console itself is only $148 according to UMB TechInsights.
