"Inflation. Assuming it releases exactly 5 years after the Wii does, and say 5% inflation a year, $299 would actually be cheaper than the Wii's launch price. Though the Wii had a game I spose."

Except that didn't apply for EVERY OTHER Nintendo home console. So it wouldn't suddenly apply now.

It has to apply at some point, surely.

Of course, but not the gradual inflation that's been causing tech prices to drop all around.

A more likely cause for the next N home console to cost that much would be a horrible dollar to yen ratio (but I don't know which is which since I'm not an economics student, so someone would have to answere which one).



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
