Liquid_Vegeta Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 My guess would be a £150 price tag here in Britain, if that was the case I can see it starting with the same healthy momentum the Cube did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Probably not true.. But the N64 came out at £149.99 didn't it? Then GC was £129.99 so maybe they could do it cheaper - but I doubt it. The DS was £120, I'm hoping that it'll be £150 I reckon that could be do-able Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 There's a rule in economics that putting a too cheap price on something makes it seem bad quality. It's risky to launch at this price, and they'll probably not even be able to make profit of it. I'm guessing more like $/€ 200 - 250, which is a very good price.

demonmike04 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hmm, unless Nintendo had a way to make nano technology cheap, this thing is bull. Im guessing at a £150-250 price tag for UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostile Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Most unrealistic rumour ever!! I dunno, I thought Nintendo ON was pretty far-fetched... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Specs such as graphics and things like that never reallly matter to me. I go for gameplay, nintendo give that. but $99 USD?? if that's true then itll be like £60 GBP Id think at least 150 GBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklight Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 $99? I know, even better idea, give it away! Seriously, there is no way Nintendo could sell if for $99, first it would be too much of a loss for them, second it sounds, exactly it would be, cheap, and cheap = rubbish, low quality. £150 certainly sounds better to me, but up to £200 would probably be OK too. They may go somewhere inbetween like £179? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 There have been other rumours of a $200/£110 price point. These rumours are slightly more substantial, typically taken from those weird cryptic comments Iwata loves. Everytime Nintendo holds a press confrence, I bet jouranlists have to secretly go through a large maze filled with a large number of puzzles and traps, each more devious then the last, before finally having to best Reginald Fils-Aime in unarmed combat just to get their questions answerd.

david.dakota Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 No chance. Even if NIntendo could make, distribute and promote each unit for $99, they'd have no further discounts to make. Its also very wise to have a high price to start with. In al honesty, Nintendo should release the console with perhaps 2 or 4 controllers at a higher price, say $200. See how it sells, and then in time for the next Christmas period release a version with one controller, at a lower price, $129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer kirby Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 i can't belive how long this thread has gone for, and all it is about is a stupid rumor that says that revolution will go for the price of 99$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the price point of the console is something that's going to important to both us and the Revos success, isn't it? I think it merits discussion.
