Agreed. But that wasn't Nintendo's goal.

 

Nintendo needs to realize all they need to do is release affordable hardware (ideally $199 at launch) sold at a profit with a steady stream of 1st/2nd party software and they will be fine.

 

It's impossible to have new console with $199 launch price.

NES, SNES, N64, GCN and more

Adjusted for inflation:

NES = $434

SNES = $343

N64 = $298

GameCube = $264

$200 was a lot of money in 1985.
