I think it depends more on power than cost for Nintendo. They are obsessed with small form-factors and low power-consumption. 

They aren't obsessed with small form factor and low power consumption they are obsessed with hardware with high profit margins hence low performance hardware sold at a high price which so happens to be the type of hardware that is small form-factor and low power consumption.

The wii u for example could easily have used 28nm fabrication chipset like the xbone and ps4 which would enable a smaller form factor and lower power consumption but instead they used 45nm fabrication which is more power hungry and produces more heat however because of the very low performance level of the wii u it didn't matter and not much heat or power was consumed.

The wii u design could easily have achieved far lower power consumption and been more compact using components of slightly higher cost. You have to remember the wii u design is very low performance not even comparing well to 360 and PS3 for many parts of its specification.

 

 

your BS never ends. Always lying about wii u's hardware power.

go troll elsewhere.
