Um, where did you see this? The only recent article I've seen is this one... and they don't talk price here at least.

What it does say is that they compared this to the PSX when it came out in Japan vs the Super Famicom -- both sold well with the Famicom at 12,000 yen and the PSX at 39,000. So I'd say $300 is a minimum... I wouldn't be very surprised at all to see it end up at $400.
