How many people are going to want a WiiU when their iPad and iTV do similar things... they best price the WiiU extremely competitively! But how can they release a quality touchscreen controller without it costing bank? Controllers WITHOUT a screen, but still full of sensors already cost consumers $40-$60! Add in that screen and all the bits to power it... how can this controller cost less than $100/pop? How could they sell a multiplayer budget family console with $100 controllers?
People vastly underplay the importance of cost in consoles. Family game developers will target any platform families use. An expensive WiiU will finish the job that an expensive 3DS started -- it will kill Nintendo.
