I think Nintendo is going to be the only affordable console in the next generation, being only 2-3 times as buff as the Gamecube. All the other consoles have super stats, making them as strong as top notch PCs, which cost about $2000 with all the LCD screen, etc. If you take away the screen and some of the other things PCs come with, you've got a console that might cost around $1000. I'd be amazed if the 2 other companies were able to put them on the market for less than $500.
