And in order to fund a $200 price tag in America, here in Europe, it will retail for €500...

If anything is for sure in the gaming industry, than that we europeans are fucked. So, I think your prediction is true.

$200 would not be selling at a loss from my analysis. They would make about $20 on each console.

I know I'm going to regret this but...

You do know that your analysis and reality don't need to be the same, right?

What does "need" to be the same? My analysis was based on real world retail prices. In true, it I was overestimating just to the more extreme ends.

In reality, everything Nintendo puts in the console will be wholesale assuming they don't manufacture it themselves. The real cost of what they pay will be far below $180, wih the given specs.

The only vairable I see here is the disc drive. We still don't know for certain what it is that they are using exactly.
