While I can't say the odds are zero, I think it's close enough to say that it won't happen. Nintendo has always been a more budget-minded company, and I think they're really going to try to stay about $250, MAYBE $300, but I really don't think Nintendo will want to go there. Sony has received quite a bit of criticizm for the $600 price (even though there was a gimped $500 model out there), and has claimed to have learned their lesson (re: NGP pricing) about the PS3's price. I think they will stick with a 2-tiered system launch, for $400 and $500, with looks to phase out the $400 model relatively quickly (ala the 20 GB PS3). Microsoft has seen their sales go up significantly by keeping prices down, and I think they'll aim to stay at no more than what Sony charges. I predict another 2-tier system release, going for $400 and $450. Should Sony keep their $400 model around, MS will be the first pricecut after release, to $350 and $400.
