Anyone else wish Nintendo keeps their current launch prices?

When I say this, I think to myself.  Will the 3DS, or what have you, be $149.99 upon launch?

Also, will the Power Wii or what have you be $249.99 upon launch?

I hope so.

They're goign to have to bump th price to make it equivalent to a 2006 price. Inflation, and all.

they haven't bumped a single console price up yet due to inflation, so I fail to see why this argument would hold now. (GC = 200, N64 = 200 [I think it was 250 with a game, but wiki says 200], SNES = 200, NES = 200). The Wii added wireless controls & Wifi, so a $250 price tag is justifiable compared to a GC.

Newer componenets are faster/better than older ones and end up costing the same ammount (so long as you aren't on bleeding edge level of technology), so they could make a Super Wii and launch for $250, heck the PS3 is getting close to that price and it has blu-ray.

i dont quite agree , u know how cheap those wifi modules are,  and the tech was already five year old (cpu/gpu).
