that's not what he was talking about, he was saying the cube was $50, which it never was.  There was a sale on amazon sometime early last year where they sold the GC for $50, but it was just a clearance on amazon.  Wal-mart was giving away $100 gift cards when you buy a $200 system, doesn't mean anything. 

The point I was trying to say was, they were selling it for $100 in 2003. The Wii is just a Gamecube overclocked twice as fast. This goes into the conversation of if its possible for Nintendo to make a profit if the Wii was $80. I personally think it'd be a little more than that, but still, selling a Gamecube for $100 and still making a profit off of it says something.

I don't think that really captures the difference between the systems on any level
