I hope for $350 but I believe it will be $300.

Why would you hope for more...?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure Nintendo found some way to keep the costs low. I could see it being at least 280$. (Afterall, the 3DS is and odd number for a Console price, it's 169.99$.)

I want all next gen consoles to be as expensive as possible, to allow as powerful hardware as possible.

If Wii U is $350 chances increase thhatf PS4 and X360 cost beyond $400.

Why? That would be the stupidest thing the companies could do. Making it that much would mean it would barely sell.

X360 launched at $400 and with inflation that could mean $450 in 2013. PS3 launched at $600 and still managed to be a viable platform in the long run.

My dream is that both X720 and PS4 will cost $500 at launch (I expect $400 for both though). That would mean very powerful hardware.

And perhaps even better, it would mean that the casual market was locked out.
