It wouldnt surprise me if Ninty launches Rev at $150 or so considering the guts of the machine wont be that much higher hten current ones and with how cheap hardware can get in 5 years, who knows...

naw, they'll launch at $199 or $250

They don't wanna be in that "It's-cheap-because-its-crap" category.

I really don't think Nintendo will go higher than $200 on a standard package. But at the same time, Nintendo's never been in the business of losing money on hardware like Microsoft has been - they'll charge what they need to charge and lower the price when they can.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a Microsoft with a Nintendo Download & Play package that was slightly more expensive with a point card for downloading old Nintendo Games and extra goodies. Maybe a $200 base, $250 Special Edition?

Excellent idea Mariolover. I can imagine paying $50 extra, just to be able to download the toppers that I want.

Not that I don't have them already, but sometimes it can be hard to play on broken consolers/controllers.

Software houses we spoke with also waxed on the immediate advantage to Nintendo's approach with Revolution, which is, of course, system price. Every developer was in agreement that Revolution should launch with a price tag of $149 or lower. Some speculated that based on the tech, a $99 price point would not be out of the question.

Good point:

So that's it. Nintendo is more or less out of the high-end console race. At this rate it wouldn't matter if they doubled the GCN userbase. Their console will be more of a "toy" than an actual cutting edge system. They will make a nice profit on every system and they will drown themselves in their own circle jerk of jizz and group think. Next-gen, there will be three catagories of gaming, X360 and PS3, Handhelds, and the Revolution. It will be a completely different system in its own niche market. Congrats Nindendo, you have won the console race by defualt. You're the only player in your own market.
