It's an 800$ (probably more) tablet, of course it's gonna be strong, especially when mobile phone processors are already nearing or at PS360 levels.

It's a $40 processor. Tops. 

The LCD screen is like $120-$150, that's where most of the hardware cost is, but of course Nintendo doesn't need a 12-inch nearly 4K resolution display. 

The iPad 3 was (up to) $800 too, but Sony used the same processor with more RAM for the Vita at $250. 

$40 seems to be overestimation, I don't think Exynos 7420 goes over $30 and there is a snowball's chance in hell that Apple would use sjgnificantly more expensive AP than Samsung does.

LCD price also sounds like an overshoot, it should be around $60~$100 top in manufacture perspective.

I think it was few years ago when I heard that Apple bulk orders their processors from Samsung at like $12~14 a piece.
