Well, Apparently Nintendo wanted the Wii to be less than $100.
“If we hadn’t used NAND flash memory and other pricey parts, we might have succeeded,” he added.
At first Nintendo “didn’t think it was possible to build a powerful machine for less than 50,000 Yen” (330 Euro), and there were concerns about power consumption, cooling systems and boot-up time.
In the end, “We had to compromise on graphics and give up on a powerful chip,” Miyamoto agreed.
