Wii is ready for lunch on 19th on Nov. with huge 400,000 units that will cost you $250, mean quite decent on your pockets. If I say it could cost you $100 or even less, then what would you say? Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto shares few details about the embedded software in the console. He says that it could really cost just $100 or less but few add-ons made it worth $250.

Business Week provides a fine description of Miyamoto's account on cost issue. He told that a bit upgradation in interface and software like NAND and few other pricy add-ons made it little pricey.

Moreover he said ultimately they had to exterminate HD graphics for an economic console. As all of you know that Nintendo is not so possessive on HD graphics issue but it is more focused over entertainment stuff saying that if the game content is good then graphics don't matter so far.

Commenting on processing speed the official informs that the present on is much faster than GameCube.
