For me, the biggest issue is pricing on software and peripherals, it's crazy to charge full price after years on the market for games. When the Wii released, the cost of a single controller was almost half that of the console itself.

I agree with most of that, but what do you mean by the Wii pricing? The Wii was $250. A Wii Remote was $40, a nunchuck was $20. $60 is a lot less than $250, or even $200.

Are you talking about production costs? I don't know about the Wii, but I know the Wii U GamePad was a huge part of that console's cost (about half, at least later on).
