Low Revolution price is looking VERY good

NOA Senior Director Beth Llewelyn had some more to say cocerning the Revolution pricepoint.

While we have not released information about pricing for our next system, we do recognize that in order to expand the market and reach new consumers price is an influencing factor. Price will be a major consideration in future consoles as the cost of technology continues to rise. As we've already seen with the currently announced pricing for Microsoft's Xbox 360, gamers looking for a new system around the holidays this year could easily spend over $500, which could be too high for many consumers.

She makes a great point. Chances are anyone that is getting an Xbox360 is going to get the $400 model, and then once you factor in a charger for the controller, and a game or two you are well over the $500 mark. Seems from her words that Nintendo is going to do its best to keep a price point that can suit everyone.
