Stage - I don't exactly follow your argument. If Nintendo kept the price low for the "lower/middle class", then why are the rich clammoring over the system, scrambling to get them when they come in stock? Usually the rich want nothing that the lower classes have. I think its quite inverse, that the HD consoles are overpriced for their parts, as we see that the price clearly hurt Sony at launch and had lasting effects. Also, there's really not been evidence of stockpiling, outside of the occasional analyst guess, so it's hard to state that as having been the case. Simple supply and demand can go right to the core - rate of production. It's an old conversation anyhow, but just wanted to point out that your argument isn't build on a stable fact.
