Nintendo could have launched at 300 and made an ish-load of money.

This will be the generation of lost opportunity costs. I mean, if Nintendo launched at 300, they'd have an extra 1.5 billion in profit (since they sell the Wii for a profit anyway). ~30 mil * 50 bucks.

That's crazy.

Combined with the reported 1 billion they didn't make last winter because of the lack of consoles, and that's 2.5 billion lost in opportunity costs. I bet sony and MS wish they would have had cheaper consoles, and been less graphic heavy as well...
