If this really launches at $200, then Nintendo might not be as dumb as we think. $200 would really be competing hard with current-gen and next-gen systems.
If Nintendo actually prices their console at this price, then they have a real shot at winning next-gen again. |
I just hope theyre not selling them at a loss. I love nintendo.

If that's what Nintendo needs to do to succeed, then in the end it doesn't matter because they will eventually make back their profit loss. That's exactly what Sony had to do, but although that is a little bit extreme in their case.
Still, NIntendo has made so much money with the DS and Wii that they have a cash reserve to comfort them for a looooong time.
Note: I love Nintendo too, but it's their job to earn our money. Remember that.

That's the thing, though. Sony never made that money back. Given that they burned through all the profits of the PS2 era, they have a long way to go to say that they broke even on the entire PS3 venture, right? Not quite familiar with their financials.
Either way, the Yen/Dollar Yen/Sterling Yen/Euro exchange rates means that Nintendo is going to ratchet up the price on non-Japanese

How likely do you think they´d do the two SKU strategy like MS did in the beginning of this gen?
Maybe like this:
SKU # 1: Wii U + one U pad + demo of a game for $250
SKU # 2: Wii U + one pad + NintendoLand for $300
But then again, I think it´s in their best interest to include NintendoLand with every console since it describes what they´re pushing (asymetric gameplay)
