Only the jokers have voted $599, I think that's just a bit OTT. $300 is the likely price but defiantly no more than $350

I have a feeling Nintendo will aim for $300, but exchange rate changes could push them to sell it for $350 or $400 ... The price won't be announced until 3 months before the system is actually released.
I'm hoping for a price around 300$.

I'm guessing it will be $350, but with no price announced at E3.

I don't see it below 399$ because :
- touchscreen is no cheap technology, and from what we heard the controller will have a rather large one (same size or larger than an Iphone one, and an Iphone is an expensive thing).
- If the technology inside the system is even slightly more advanced than 360/PS3, it will probably be a big jump from the Wii in terms of cost (developement and components)
probably around $350, and no they won't say anything at E3 (this year's anyway)

Doing a quick search on the net, I found 6 inch touch screens for as little as $20 in lot sizes around 100 ... In other words, depending on what the capabilities of the touch screen are, touch screens can be very affordable. Hypothetically speaking, if Nintendo used a touch screen with a resolution of 480x320 they might be able to sell a controller for $50 or less while still turning a profit; at the same time, if Nintendo decided that they needed a full 720p screen it would likely be $100 (or more) for each controller.
350 is the least I'd expect it. If they have a really good E3 conference with alot of good press they may push the price to 400. I bet the 3ds was originally going to be for 200 before the press was blown away at e3.

Not really, he's probably pretty close because €/£ prices always include VAT unlike $ prices (usually with quite generous rounding up as well). The £ used to be a lot stronger than the € but now it's just a little stronger so it could be something like £ 270-280. |
True apart from pounds price at 280 it's actually kinda close to pricing structure in EU vs US ;) Well at least we get out games cheaper and the prices for them fall faster.
