Well it wouldn't be stupid.
The Xbox was selling better at $500 then it was when its price dropped to $400, the PS3 at $600 was outselling the 360 $399. Theres obviously more to those numbers then I'm letting on but the point is systems can sell at prices above $399, pressure to be below that pricetag comes from competiton of which Nintendo will have none. You're right realistically Nintendo will not sell there system for that much, but I think they could get away with it and it would be more profitable for them then $399 and benefit them in the longrun if they used that pricetag to beef up specs. Just my feelings on it but I don't think sonys next console will be less then $499.
