I think a lot of folks are suprised at the current $299 price for the Wii U.  The obvious question is whether or not they can keep costs down AND be as powerful as a PS4.  Does it need to be that powerful?

If they want 3rd partie ports in 1080p and not in 900p like XboxOne, then yes.

But then how do the maintain a $299 pricetag?  Remember:  Nintendo does not take loses on their hardware.

Cost of hardware similar specs of PS4 is falling in time, if PS4 hardware was cost around $400 at end of 2013. you can easily expect similar or stronger hardware to cost below $300 in 2016-2017.
