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

Lol that would be impossible unless the price of the N6 is the same or less than the price of the PS3 because otherwise there would still be room to doubt. I don't need to know what the PS3 will cost to manufacture because the architecture of the N6 will be so simple it will be ridiculed. Since its hard to actually say definitively I would bet money but theres no way to prove the winner and the timescale is too long.

However knowing who Nintendo are, I can almost guess how cheap the system will be.

One main CPU and GPU combined with 4 GDDR5 chips attached to a system die package which is essentially the innards of any smart phone minus the CPU and cellular equipment with one HDMI output and one or two USB 3.0 outputs and the whole Wi-fi/Blu Tooth/HDMI/Flash memory components standardised inside.

See this pic for what I mean:

And it won't be much if anything more complicated on the inside compared to what the iPad is already packing aside from obvious things like heat sinks and voltage regulation modules.

Well, too bad... I like your thinking... you could've won some money off of me
