Will Nintendo do what Sony did next-gen?

They can't do a PS4 next gen for two reasons.

1. No 3rd party support
2. Most people don't seem to value a Nintendo system for more than $250. So how are they going to pack PS4 parts in for that price from the start and make money?

damn i didnt even think about that, thats really messed up. So are people naturally expecting it to be lower value?

Well I think they have been conditioned to it by Nintendo. It would be hard to justify them going up to say $400-$500 at launch even if it had alll the media player funcitons like the competition. 

The thinkg that shits me about consoles in general is that people value them less then their mobile phones (and mobiles even cost more), yet peopel change them every year (granted they do upgrade and sell the old).  Imagine how much better consoles would have been if people accepted a $800 norm price for consoles.
