BUt they did show willingness to sacrifice an affordable price point.

Let's be honest, at $300 USD, Wii U is overpriced.

Overpriced doesn't mean unaffardably priced, lest we forget how the Wii was like $100 overpriced when it launched. I never said it was priced in accordance to it's worth, I said it was priced affordably. Even at $350, the Wii U was an affordable system.

Affordable is relative. The $599 launch PS3 was affordable to those who really wanted it and were willing to drop the cash.

No prior Nintendo console had ever been as expensive as Wii U.

If Nintendo insist on going with low end hardware, then they cannot sell it at more than $250. $200 would be ideal.
