dude come on...the masss market number for one gen cannot and should not be transfered to tehnest--its like saying milk back in the 70's set the price for milk sold in the 90's what a silly thing to say
199. was the mass market point for last gen...this gen you are going to see it around 250-275---which is where nintendo set it--face it right now they are in control of what price is going to be--if sony and micro get down to 300 expect nintendo to got to 200---both sony and micro are playng a very bad game of catch up with the wii
and as far as people paying for "way more" its a relative term---if you just want to play video games and dont own a HD tv or care about BLu Ray since DVDs are still the best option (then it will be downloading)...are you really going to pay more for the extra junk or just buy the game system and save the 200 bucks
