Historical data based on what? The fact that the PS2/Wii/X360/DS/3DS was the most underpowered system and sold best? That was true once, but ever since then we need more and more power to get slightly better visuals, and let's face it, 500$ today is not 500$ in 2012. I think people will be fine to pay that premium at launch Also, they will have way more room to maneuver with the pricing, down the line.

The fact that expensive consoles sold poorly.

Define expensive. The PS3 did mighty well, and the base price (499$) today would be 650$ if you take into account inflation. Look, I'm not saying that I or most consumers don't want a cheap product, but considering this gen, I would be more than OK to pay for the extra oomph, and I bet most Sony/MS fans would be willing to do the same, so they can have a competent system 5-6 years down the line.
