| NJ5 said: I think you guys are analyzing this from a very naive perspective. There are all sorts of variables which go into hardware price, ultimately even marketing decisions which will obviously depend a lot on the situation and the company. A serious analysis would be material for a masters thesis, at least. |
The basic element though, is that the general public generally don't want to pay over the odds ofr any piece of technology. Personally speaking, I would have rather the power in all the Next Gen machines were slightly less so that the cost would be alot less.
In an idea world, in the UK, all 3 consoles should come in under £200, whereas it's only the Wii that comes in under that amount...and maybe it shows with the huge sales.
