Personally, I'm glad there will be a $50 cap on games like Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. That's less than was charged for some top tier games 10 and 15 years ago. And Nintendo has stated there will be multi-tiered pricing, just like they've executed so well on DS. Brain Age $20, Yoshi $30, FFIII $40 on DS, IIRC. $30 for Brain Age Wii would be cool. If Nintendo can charge less than their competitors while improving profit margins for themselves and third parties, and merely trade "next gen graphics" for a "next gen controller" to do so, more power to 'em, I say. The big gripe I have with Nintendo pricing is the way they never drop game prices. Smash Melee is still a $30 game even today, for example.
