$200. Lol.
It's going to cost $350. Deal with it.
Oh, and eat crow.

I don't know, $350 is getting kinda steep for a console that really will not be much more powerful than PS3/360, yet it'll be significantly more expensive. At $350 alot of Nintendo's blue ocean consumers will wait for price drops, alot of gamer will wait for a bunch of Nintendo games (it'll probably get most 3rd party games as multiplats but who is going to buy a new console for multiplatform titles)
I am going to guess $300 just because Nintendo dosn't want to "underprice" it like they think they did with the Wii. Though i think it really should launch at $250 which will be price of PS3 in 2012.

We don't evenm know the full specs and you come with that not much more powerful than PS3/360 thing.
Nintendo can make a full generational jump with the R700.

If SONY / Microsoft launch new consoles in 2014 using old GPU's they will be 6 GPU generations ahead of the R700. Not to mention rumours are that Nintendo is aiming for 512mb of RAM, maybe 1024mb. The biggest bottleneck for current systems is there lack of RAM, so 1024mb of RAM would indicate a system only slightly more powerful. As for the CPU will don't have much information other than it being PowerPC based and using 3 cores. As such it probably fits inline with the other specs.
Not to mention the leaked slideshow had Nintendo indicating that they want easy ports from 360 and PC to there new console. That shows that they are looking to compete with current consoles and not SONY/Microsofts next-gen consoles.
