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

Build costs of Wii U gamepad were around $80 in 2012, today build costs are probably around $50-60, Wii U pro controller build cost are around $15, so today without Wii U gamepad we could have around $50 Wii U lower price at most. So its not like that Wii U would have price of $150 like people are assuming, buy official price around $250 instead current $300 definitely.

I completely believe Nintendo should be selling the Wii U with a Pro Controller instead of a gamepad for $150.  That is how much that console is worth, and the longer they wait, the more they become irrelivant. 

$150 Wii U wouldn't change anything it just make Nintendo a loose. And offcourse that console dont worth only $150.

GC had $100 price and again sold poorly, you can say that Nintendo become irrelevant that gen, but after that they had best generation ever in gaming, so bad or good current gen does not much on next gen.
