Wii U have very compact and power efficient and solid (not strong) hardware. Wii U only consumpes around 30W, basicly like light bulb. Hardware like that have own cost regardless power of hardware. Like I wrote, Wii U would probably would cost $250-300 without gamepad instead $300-350, cost of gamepad is not $100 and you need to count cost of controller instead of gamepad. What makes Wii U such a bomb isn't price point, it had much bigger reasons than that, like bad name of console, terrible marketing, week launch titles, software drouth.. |
The marketing issues are a plausible reason but Microsoft figured out the reason why Sony wins gens and thats because they've got the bulk of the third party. Thats is the reason why Microsoft severed Sony's old marketshare last gen. Most gamers are playing third party not first party.
