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

What's so different between them then?

Hard to get into because Nintendo doesn't actually release hardware specs for the damn thing, but the sensor bar, the included Wii remote (much more complicated than a Gamecube controller), thee flash memory, the slot-loading DVD tray, the little blue glowing LED thing.... that's not even getting into the technical differences between the machines because I don't know them, but the Wii has been pulling off games that would be impossible on the Gamecube for a while now and there's a lot more than just overclocking the Gamecube's processor

Hell

You'd need a whole other Gamecube and some tape at the least
