Someone said in another thread it was now rumored over 3 teraflops. 

I thought the same as you on the price when I saw the first rumor but if it is as powerful as the above rumor then the price seems fair.  

It isn't about the prive being fair, It's what group of people will this appeal to. Expensive cuts out the casual, not being mainstream as well as the other 2 consoles being in 40 mil+ homes kind of etches out the other. 

 

At that price it WILL have to be lightning in a bottle again, whether the console is worth the asking price or not.

That's true. Who knows at this point?  300-350 might be a bundle with the dock (if true) and maybe the entry handheld is around $199.  If it is really a dual setup I think they need a lower price entry point on the handheld.  If the dock really does add power to it for third party it could be an add on accessory buy or bundled for the $300-350.  At least then there'd be options and the lower price point might grow the base more quickly.
