What leads you to believe that? Wiis were produced at $88 (I've posted this link somewhere before, I think - http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/multimedia/display/20090407124321_Nintendo_Wii_Costs_Roughly_88_to_Manufacture__Analysts.html#) back in mid 2009. Surely you'd think that Wii's even lower now and, considering 360 cost over 300 bucks to manufacture at launch, I doubt it's that low by now.

Your point being? Your analysis shows that a 360 costs $105-135 to make and Kinect costs $56 to make. The Wii, according to my source, cost $88 to make back in July 2009. Nintendo can go lower than MS - and that's not accounting for any manufacturing costs they cut in the past year and a half. They're probably right above Kinect costs by now. A $80 Kinect and a $150 360 (or even a $199 K360) couldn't combat a $99 (heck, prolly lower) Wii.

So now it must cost like,50$?Damn,that's even less than a game.

And Kinect won't see a price-cut this year,it's making way too much money at it's current price.
