I would've axed the tablet controller and made the pro controller standard from the start of console design.

Cut to 16GB Flash storage. (2 SKU's, white & black, same storage)

Axe the eDRAM and go with a stonger GPU w/ 2GB GDDR5 (one unified pool and perhaps, still, 1GB for OS)

Bluray drive for expanded multimedia.

-----

No tablet controller would have dropped the price to $249 (based on Iwata's claim). Cutting the storage by half and removing the embedded RAM would cancel some of the costs of an improved GPU w/ GDDR5 RAM. Also, another drop in cost would be removing the docks (no more gamepad) and removing the pegs to stand the console. A stand can be sold separately.

Therefore, price at $299 for guaranteed profit or break even.
