Makes sense. No fans + 65nm shrink will significantly reduce costs too.

 

Costs wouldn't drop by much.  Maybe 5-7$ per console.  I bet they put a bigger heat sink in there which would eat up some money they save on not having a fan.

The CPU and GPU were already very cheap for Nintendo to buy.  That's why we haven't seen any changes yet.  They might want to save that 5-7$ though to keep the yen from eating at their profit.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
