In all fairness, yes, the GC did fail despite it's low price.

But it also had a fraction of the games that will be available on the Revo.

Also, last gen, consoles were only $299. With the 360 launching at $299 and $399 and the PS3 launching for maybe double that, $200 is going to be an attractive price to the average gamer.

I think if Nintendo had been able to launch the Revolution first they would've competed and perhaps even beaten the PS3 and 360.

But since it's coming out long after the 360's first price drop and perhaps after the PS3's first price drop too, it's price will not be as big of an advantage.

Just my two cents. (I kind of flip-flopped around. sorry.)
