The source added, "Nintendo chose an economical GPU and CPU that could
keep up with the performance of today's current consoles, but keep
hardware costs down to maximize profits. Nintendo got a bargain price on
the custom GPU and CPU that the Wii U uses. There is a bigger focus on
downloadable content, applications, video content, digital distribution,
and services to create a stream of revenue. Investors will be ecstatic
with the news."
The original Wii launched at $250 in the U.S, as did Nintendo's 3DS. Nintendo is expected to announce is plans for Wii U at E3.
