The Wii would have, 21M is not alot. Hell for the first and second holiday seasons they were showing up on ebay for close the the PS3's asking price. The ipod sells at post-apple tax pricing, the Wii enjoys the same type of consumer appeal.
Ask yourself this though, for the PS3's asking price, would Nintendo have the content to support thier higher prices? If Nintendo had started selling the Wii at $599 like the original 60GB PS3 I highly doubt it would be the same Wii that was released.
Being partnered with IBM, ATI, and Panasonic several times they have access to all the technology they would need to match the PS3's hardware. But that would be silly, why do that when you can release a $249 system that sells at a profit from day one?
