It also has an IR projector, camera, motion sensors and gyros, microphone and near field communication.

It has 4? infrared LEDs that cost 50 cents total?   A  1dollar vga sensor with plastic lens. A 30 cents microphone etc...

And chinese Wiimotes also have gyro and motion sensors. My china made nunchuck costs 2 dollars and works like a normal one. So does the chinese wiimote.
NFC chips cant cost that much. I know there is more technology in the gamepad than in my 24" screen but the price is still in no relation to whats offered.

On the other hand when I see what Sony or MS want for their plastic controllers  the gamepad  feels not that much overpriced to me but still overpriced.

What I actually want to say is  I paid 100 for a big monitor. All controllers need to be cheaper!

350e for Portugal i presume... Insane.

They are crazy if they think they can compete with PlayStation with those prices.

Wont even reach 20k sold here in 2/3 years.



Well I called it, along with many others. Can't for the life of me understand why anyone would have predicted lower than $299. Wishful thinking maybe?
