Yes, but you know as well as I do that a WiiU sans gamepad could be retailing for $200 right now.

no, 250 maybe. 200 would be a money hemorrage.

The PS3 is currently $199 and not sold at a loss.  PS3 is older and has been in production much longer than WiiU, but it's also a blu-ray player, and WiiU is not vastly superior/more expensive tech.

It may only break even at $199, but a WiiU packaged with a Wiimote/nunchuck instead of the Gamepad would absolutely not hemorrhage money.
