I doubt Nintendo will go above Wii launch price.... they stuck pretty firm charging $200 for so long before the Wii.


well if they improve the software and possibly make it using next gen software the production price will be high. if they use the software of this gen then the launch price will not exceed the 200s.

Hard to tell exactly what you mean by "improve the software" and "next gen software".... I would guess you meant hardware rather than software.

Nintendo has NEVER been about creating "bleeding edge" machines like Sony is..... affordability is a higher priority (among other things).... in a year or two though (ie when Nintendo will be heavily in development of the next console, ie finallizing parts and such) they will easily be able to create a machine far more capable than the PS3 that can be sold for less than $250.

And they will absolutely not have an RRP above $300..... I suspect it will be the same as the Wii at $250 (due to inflation their consoles had been steadily getting cheaper from NES to GCube. They will most likely keep their consoles at $250-300 for another 20 years... well assuming the idea of console gaming is still the same 20 years from now)
