Man my computer is still down so I missed all the nice rumour convo's.
If the controller is real and actually has a 6-inch LCD HD screen, it better only cost 59.99$ and have a battery life of 8 hours.....(Impossible I know). The controller alone would cost about 90-100$ then the console if rumours are to be believed are either (PS3 graphics) (2008 PC graphics) or Next Generation graphics. If it is the latter then expect the console to be 400-500$.
If Nintendo's console is this super expensive super powered machine, don't get me wrong I'll still buy it. But who else will? Nintendo has seen Sony go that route, of course unlike PS3 Nintendo won't have a competitor for awhile so they can get away with a higher price tag.
But seriously the machine they show in these mock-ups could be the most expensive Nintendo console to date.
Heck I feel stupid even talking about a rumour to this extent.
I wouldn't be suprised if Nintendo didn't leak some of these rumours themselves just to throw people off!

I think we should aim for 400$ pricetag for the N6. Nintendo didn't have a problem charging 250$ for the 3DS, they will push it on their next console too because they're in a really good position were any competitor will take at least 1.5 years to get in the market. And any competitor will launch at a ridiculously high pricetag if they want a high jump on the graphics department. Nintendo is confortable with pricetag I would say.
They only need a killer app at launch and people will buy it for sure. Heck, people bought a 600$ PS3 with no killer apps on launch day because it was PlayStation.

But a lot of people also bought the PS3 on launch day and for the next couple of years because it was a really cheap Blu-ray player. Nintendo on the other hand does need a killer app at launch or close to lauch if they want to charge $400 for their next console.
