Shocking, right? But yeah, fault's mostly on Ninty for that. |
Nintendo's fault is the entire idea of including a tablet contoller not just confusing people by making hem conider that wii u is an uprgade/peripheral to wii...
The gamepad adds 80$ in manufacturing cost and 110$ in price, it led Nintendo to money loss in the first two years of wii u and curtailed the margin for gaining, made price cuts without bleeding money impossible and it didn't caught the interest of consumers! Nintendo took the high risk again to have something way different and innovative, which is good though, but it's bad when that it's not being done rightly, unlike swiitch which is what wii u should be.
Wii u would cost 250$ without the gamepad, nintendo would earn more money, more people people would buy it as it would be more affordable and by now its price could have fallen to 169$...
See switch costing 250$ ( with the dock ) , fairly less than wii u, while it's considerably more powerful and provide more gaming ways than it and Nintendo profitting in a much greater extend, just becaue there is no additional expensive gaming component.
