Spec speculation on new system - $300 limit though, perhaps even $200.

Im comparing it to the PS3 as it will be in 2012, whether the PS3 has been shrunk for the 2nd time or not.

• Every PS3 has a HDD.
• Both the PS3 and NES 6 will have flash memory (PS3 uses for OS).
• PS3 has two 128 bit buses using legacy GDDR3 and boutique XDR whereas NES 6 will use common and low cost GDDR5, and at that it will have fewer chips.
• They will both have Blu Ray drives.
• The cost of the chips to physically manufacture will be the same or lower for the NES 6 CGPU.
• The NES 6 will be physically no bigger and use no more power than the PS3.
• The motherboard complexity of the PS3 will make the NES 6 look extremely primitive by comparison, complexity = cost.

alright...

so how much do you think the ps3 will cost to manufacture when N6 launches?

and how do you propose we determine the prices when it's time to call in the bets?
