The double-edged sword with the price though is that when something is cheap people think 'isn't it cheap because it's worse'... GC launched at $100 less than the competition and it did nothing. I don't think price will be the deciding factor here... Nintendo's innovation with the control scheme, marketing (if they do it right), whatever they're hiding, the virtual console (like Live Arcade but with so much more...), etc, etc... that is what they're betting it on. The price thing... the 'simpler controller will help' thing... they tried those on Gamecube and they failed. I don't expect any more success from them this time. It's the innovation (that is, it's not the controller simplification that will help, it's the new 'freehand movement' control scheme...) and the games that are the key... and Nintendo is still the best console games developer in the world, so they should have the games down. :)
