I would REALLY like to see Legend of Dragoon with Wii controls. Now that's out of my system...

I expect that the instant Nintendo becomes a software dev instead of hardware and software, the two big hardware giants will immediately raise the price of their consoles. Nintendo for the past couple of generations has not competed on the power front, but that's practically all there is between Microsoft and Sony: a power war. Remove Nintendo making the Wii U for $350 and the only competition left is between Microsoft, Sony, and PC's. All three of those are ruled by a spec war, not a price war.

Without Nintendo, I imagine what we'll see is very powerful consoles going for at least $200 more than they do now.

I strongly disagree. The others can't raise the prices in the current economic situation, their sales will just die. There's only so much people are willing to spend on game consoles. Besides, Sony and MS are in heave competition against each other, they're both targetting the same user groups for the most part.
