A wii is basically a GCN that's twice as fast, isn't it? Thus Wii = cheap.

Not exactly. Most people don't realize just how modern the chip is. Think of it like going from an Intel Pentium 3 (GC) to a Pentium 4 (Wii) with an even bigger decrease in fabrication die shrink. A P4 isn't just a faster P3.

 

 Well actually, the earlier P4's were slower than P3's, and your forgetting that the Wii uses a chip derived from the Gamecube chip, just 50% faster, so to That Guy, no its not twice as fast. To Viper, the chip is by no means modern, its a very old chip as far as CPU's go, its old technology, and thats why its cheap.
