idk it seems line Nintendo abandoned affordability with wii, wii was 249, 3ds is 249. I like my consoles to start at 200 or less. If cafe is awesome enough though, it ends up getting bought anyhow. This is a recession so not as many people had money as they did in 2006, but the competitors have released systems at prices 300 and up and still sold systems in the double digits of millions. I like the idea of a touchscreen, and I like motion control. Now they could release a system with 2 types of controllers, but that plays with adobtability. Its a sticky situation.Also, its hard to say how much a controller like that would cost, but im guessing about $80. Nintendo gets a great deal because they single handedly payed to mass produce touch screens in a volume that lowered their price in the entire computer industry.
