Just how much does the gamepad cost anyway? Is this why it still isn't sold separately?

It´s supposed to cost 80$

Here is an old breakdown from almost two years ago.

http://www.destructoid.com/cnn-estimates-the-cost-of-wii-u-s-parts-to-be-228-249435.phtml

 The GamePad alone is valued at $79.25, while the main console comes to $148.25

It is a little hard to believe that two gamepads supposedly costs more than the console.

There is not very much stuff in there:
