I think Nintendo will look at the state of the market, find out how much they want to price their console at, and then pack as much in that will keep them under that price point. I'm thinking they will jump to $299 next gen." Not likely. If they are packing in as much as the price point can fit, they would do it for $200-$250. |
Every Nintendo console has sold for roughly $200 in the past. $200 is a lot less now than it was 20 years ago, With the Wii selling as good as it is, and the sky high prices of the other HD consoles at launch, $300 is realtively cheap. Plus I'm sure the recession will be on it's way out when Nintendo launches their next system, so people won't be low on cash. I'm just saying That they will first decide a price point (which i'm guessing $300) and then put as much in to keep it under $300 to manufacture.
