The 3DS launched at 249$, and saw a price cut to 169$ at the same time as OP suggested the release. 

Plus the original DS started at 149$.  Which is cheaper than OP suggested.  

In addition, the original Wii costed 249$ for a few years before it dropped it's price.  So it likely would not have lost money.  Because it'd be selling more, itd also sell a lot more games.  

The original pricing for the DS is indeed $150 but with inflation, it would equate to a bit more expensive price than suggested in the OP.

I'm sure that with a cheaper Super Wii, there would be more sales, but there needs to be a balance with selling at a loss. That's the main reason why Nintendo still haven't given the Wii U a price cut, because they want to make more for each console, instead of following Microsoft's marketing.

I'm saying that it would be about $100 because there would have to be a price cut from the launch price. Starting with $169, it will have to be cut to maybe $120, but eventually to $100. May be wrong about this, but that's what I'm thinking
