Generally, smaller=more expensive. It costs Nintendo $ to manufacture it, it cost them money to develop it, it costs them money to support it. They gotta make a profit somewhere.

I don't assume to know facts, I know general price locations of the hardware they're putting in the things, and when they're mass produced by Nintendo or somebody they've got a contract with, it's going to cost even less.

I seriously apologize. I didn't mean to give people the idea that those are the true to life prices. I merely gave my own guesstimate. No need to listen to me. Make your own guesstimates.

And yes, I understand that smaller is generally more expensive. The GBA, as far as I have seen, is not a whole lot more powerful than the SNES, and a lot less powerful in some areas (resolution for instance, DK Country looks TERRIBLE on the GBA in comparison to the SNES game). The GBA was released on June 11, 2001 in the states. It had been in development for 2 years. The technology was there, but it wasn't utilized. That's four years.
