| gumby_trucker said: this is my post from a similar thread: "you guys are all going about it backwards. this is Nintendo, not Sony. Lets assume it'll cost about $300, okay? that means It'll have the best PC $150 can buy at time of launch (cost to manufacturer, of course), and an additional $100 of desruptive features that nobody else has done yet. That leaves $50 for profit split between Nintendo, shipping companies and retailers. Now go figure out the specs of the machine... edit: this machine here is $300 (cost to consumer) as of now. Profit margins are probably slim, but it's reasonable to assume it'll be around $150 to manufacture by holiday 2012-spring 2013." |
This is good logic Gumby. This certainly seems to be how Nintendo works. The only questions is what will those $100 worth of "desruptive features" be?
