Wonder how powerful the Wii2 will be and if it'll be using AMD 5000 series graphics

If the 3ds is 250-300the Wii2 may be like 400 although I'm sure Nintendo will have good justification

Looking at Iwata's statement that's likely to happen. DS was 150 and Wii 250$, if 3DS is 250$ (or even 300), 400$ for home console would mantain the ratio between it and handheld. That's worrying: their next console will surely be powerful and have elements of great innovation, and likely more third party's support, but 400$ is too much, if Microsoft and Sony price their next consoles at 300$ or less it'll be too difficult to sell it.

I highly doubt that Sony and MS has anything less than $400 planned for their next console.
