$250? Do you want a cardboard console?

And you've already got your Zelda game.

They should be able to put something base x1/ps4-wise out at $250 provided we don't see the gamepad again

The gamepad costs $80 to make. How much does a pro controller cost to make? Considering that the Pro controller retails for $50, I'd say the gamepad adds $50 to the retail price of the Wii U. They could have dropped the gamepad, and sold Wii U for $250. 

Nintendo's main audience is kids, and older Nintendofans. For the parents price is everything. For the older fans, price is important since they don't want to buy two consoles at $400.
