Sony can emulate Nintedo's business model, but don't want to. They could have easily created a PS2.5 for $200 and sold MORE than the Wii at this point.

A gamecube 1.5 will miserably fails in the marketplace.

The point is that Wii is not a Gamecube 1.5 . Wii is a console with a disruptive business model. Nintendo current business model is based on close sinergy between software department and hardware department that Big N has.

I believe another company has taken good advantage of that approach... Apple.
