How is it possible that the X1 and PS4 are already basically the same price as a Wii U?

The gamepad is 80-100$ and the controllers are under 20$ to produce

Whe wii u gamepad is $20 to produce? If so Nintendo is good at making money lol. If you mean the pro controllers then i guess that was already inferred. 

I would be surprised if it cost them much money to make this piece of garbage, the plastic is cheap (it feels cheap anyways) the screen is rather low Resolution, the battery doesn't last long (I.e. it's small) there is barely any processing done on the device (so it has a decoder chip + some custom wireless hardware... I'd be very surprised if they spent more than 40$ on this, seeing how cheap knock off tablets can be, they charge you for the logo...
