Well, I'm quite sure that if Nintendo had known just how insanely, mind-bogglingly successful Wii would become, they'd have priced it higher. Probably not at $400, but $300 seems like it would've been very plausible. It's all about perceived value. If a consumer thinks something's unique, they're willing to pay more for it, no matter the objective facts, like how Wii was basically a GameCube 2.0 in raw graphical power. Its games and controls made it unique, so consumers wanted to have it.
