 Very well, I just don't see them being able to drop price by any amount of their choosing any time.

 

Unlike most, I actually don't think they'll drop the price in 2011 either, instead I see heavier bundling in it's future.  But that's not due to their costs, they could cut the Wii price in half ($99) and still make a return per unit.

Besides, Nintendo's going to majorly bank on 3DS in 2011.  Even if they wanted to take a loss on Wii and sell it for something absurd like $49, they could easily afford to.

I doubt they could do it "easily". Selling a console (with a game/games) for the same price as a game? Bad idea imo

Easily.  They're likely not paying much more than $50 in BOMs at this point, and it's well under $100 total manufacturing and logistics per unit.  If Nintendo had the same sort of market strategy as Sony, Wii would probably be $99 now actually.
