I really think Nintendo blew it by gimping the Wii chipset so badly. It would've gotten tons and tons and tons of third party support had the chip even been half an XBox 360.

The N64 launched in 1996 for $199.99, and the GameCube launched in 2001 for $199.99 with a full generation upgrade for an affordable price, so don't give me the "well they couldn't have made the Wii any more powerful" ... by 2006, they should've been able to release a chip much better than what they put in there for $250.

GameCube launched for $50 less and offered a full generational leap.

With a better chip a lot more projects would've been greenlit and a lot of these canned projects would've made it to retail. 

Maybe motion control tech is still expensive at that time, and the Wii has a buit in Wifi adapter (IIRC the launch X360 didn't has). Plus there are inflation factor too. $199 at 2001 maybe isn't the same with $199 at 2006. Plus Plus Nintendo also want to make a profit so maybe they raise the price a bit.
