You guys do know why Nintendo consoles are cheap right? Despite the gamecube being more powerful than the PS2 it was cheaper because it didn't have the expensive DVD drive, and the hardware was easier to produce. Now the Wii probably could have been even more powerful and still made a profit, but that wouldn't make much sense if Nintendo loss this generation. They were taking a risk, and they new the more money per console they made the better, because there were big chances the Wii could have failed. Next Generation, unless they take another risk like this they will probably make a console on par or above the competition just like they did with the Snes, N64, and Gamecube. They will probably still make a profit too because they make strictly consoles, and don't waste money on expensive add ons, and they use fairly cheap hardware. So there is no reason, unless they risk/innovate again that the next console will be as far behind its competition in the way the Wii, or the Nes have.
