The Wii was only $250 because it came with a game that they wanted to essentially charge full price for. And Gamecube was not underpowered at all IMO. $300 I can see, but $400 is a pretty big leap.Originally Posted by Zap!
And $250 in 2006 would cost $269.95 in 2010, and would likely go to $280 in 2012. That $250 Wii system was very under-powered too in 2006. The Stream/Wii 2/Cafe will likely not be under-powered. I don't see how it could be under $300, but I could be wrong.
Eventually, Nintendo's practice of under $250 will end. They can't do it forever. No way a system of theirs in 2050 will be that cheap.
Anyway, we don't really know how powerful this thing will be, but many people seem to think it will be only a modest step up from Xbox 360 and PS3. Compared to where technology is today that is underpowered.
