This pretty much proves that the reason the console is still so expensive is the controller...

If you change the game pad for the pro controller the console will be like $200-$150 right now, or at least official Nintendo price.

Well not exactly, Wii U gamepad price is $100, Wii U pro controller price is $50, so basically only around $50 difference.

If you look prices of controllers, PS4 and Xbox One controllers are (I think) $60, Wii U gamepad island Wii U Pro is $50.
