As an American, I am pleased to see that stupidity in professional analysts is not unique to my country. It's like reverse-jingoism!

Wii U needs to be $300 to be profitable, says analyst.

Analysts needs to make shit up to be profitable, says Viper.

The rEVOLution is not being televised

I REFUSE to pay less than $300

The Wii U could sell at $199 and make a profit if the leaked specs are true.

Are you taking shipping, stocking, packaging, retailer mark up into consideration in this price? Remember retailers need to get paid to put a product on their shelves.

Edit: Also advertising and R&D.

Edit2: Also the cost of setting up their new online infrastructure.

*Repeats statement*. "if the leaked specs are true". They weren't.
