You are wrong.
They've been demonstrating the tech for years.
here is a video from 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUWy2GW7XQ4&feature=youtu.beI even remember a story from a while back about how they could put a haptic film over a current screen and it didn't actually cost that much once mass produced.
here is another video from 2009:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7xkiy0K2BEWe should actually try to break down this controller and figure out what it would cost to build.
Standard controller parts - ~$7
(4 face buttons, 4 shoulder/triggers, 2 analog sticks, d-pad, - + home buttons, circuit board, plastic)
6" touch screen - ~$15
(Nintendo has manufactured almost 150million 3.xxin touch screens over the last 6 years, they must cost pennies at this point. almost quadrupling the screen space for a single<?> touch screen can't be that expensive )
Gyro/Accelerometers - ~$3
(Nintendo has sold more wiimotes and M+ accessories than I even care to count. those things must be worth pennies a piece at this point. Upgraded ones shouldn't be that much more expensive)
Haptic screen overlay - ~$8
(completely estimated. Basing it off some article I read a long time ago on the subject that I can't find.)
Wireless tech - ~$10
(bluetooth + WirelessHD or whatever is in each controller can't be that expensive)
Camera - ~$5
(probably not a very high tech camera, but hopefully it's capable of 1080p. I wouldn't expect more than a 1.2mp camera, but a 5+mp camera would be nice)
IR sensors - ~$1
it's probably less than that, but i'll round to the nearest dollar
CPU - $8
(all that touchscreen & streaming tech will need to be processed locally right?)
Battery - ~$15
(6" screen, haptics, touch, camera, CPU & wireless/streaming all need power)
That brings us to a total of ~$72 for a tablet controller
add on $8 profit for each controller and this thing is looking quite expensive @ $80 each.
And some of us are thinking they are gonna update the Wiimote and include that in the box too....
Either this console is gonna be expensive, I've extremely over estimated the cost of parts, this controller is not gonna be anything like the rumors suggest or the console itself will be weak in favor of a beefed up controller.
