So DSi might be pushing $200 because of the strong Yen, I think. The old rumor was $180, which sounds about right.
I wonder if Nintendo will make a move to restore their margins on Wii hardware, and how the strong Yen will affect Wii Motion + pricing and other decisions.
If a new Wiimote with Motion + built in would be too much of a price jump to compensate for the Yen, they might just price the Motion + standalone higher, and not make a new remote... And if their margins are too low on Wii, they could consider a big software bundle of some sort, so they could raise the price.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
