I just did the inflation calculation and 200 back then equals 266 today. So that's still far ways from 350. My point still stands.

I have to agree with this.  People throw around the inflation excuse way too much.

The GC launched in 2001, not the early '80's, lol.  The fact is that the WiiU is by far the most expensive console ever from Nintendo and that's due to the Gamepad, not the console tech.
