Nintendo made a lot of mistakes with the WiiU, but there is no way the gamepad costs anywhere near $100.

When I setup a repair with Nintendo, the cost was $100 for the GamePad and $10 for return shipping, plus taxes.  This requires that I ship a broken Gamepad to them.

When you lose it, it costs more ($140 + $5 shipping and taxes):

Edit: CNN Report says it costs Nintendo $79 to make a Gamepad - http://www.gamespot.com/forums/nintendo-discussion-1000001/cnn-says-wii-u-basic-set-costs-228-to-make-29368526/

That is a little outdated. As someone stated earlier it probably cost them significantly less to make than almost 2 years  ago.
