Wii U sales trend may be just as expected if we look at Nintendo's home console sales.

Manufacturing costs reduce with time. PS3 was once a gargantuan money sink.

not when your producing as little as wii u is. they rise. especially when using old tech like wiiu. It either falls slowly or rises because its special parts late in the gen. Ps3 had new tech going for it allowijg costs to drop significantly 

Parts get cheaper as they get older, not more expensive. Hence the Wii, which was old tech even at its launch, selling for $99 now.

It's frankly quite absurd how people treat the Wii U like it's this magical one-of-a-kind console where the rules of the industry don't apply to it. How it's magically the only console where costs rise over time instead of dropping. How it's magically the only console where the graphics won't improve over time. Etc.

yakuza ice posts is correct. you are not.
