@jetsetwillie: Comes out to £391.21 according to expedia currency converter and $613.00. I have no idea if they're correct, I hope so, because I said £400 ages ago which you know is how much it will actually go for if that conversion is correct.
They have to be crazy if they think that a system with specs that roughly rival the 360 and PS3 would sell for that much just for a fancy screen controller.
Look at how cheap the 360 and PS3 are these days, it's not going to cost much more than those. The controller is the only thing that's going to push it up.. and Nintendo have caught on pretty well to the idea that cheap products = sales. They're not going to release a £400 system.

Maybe not in the US or UK, but the PS3 cost $1000 at launch here.

$1199 in NZ. I was such a fool... I only had Resistance for almost a full year!
I sincerely hope it does not launch at that in the US. They might be able to sell it to crazy people like me here at that price, but not to anyone else.
For all you US people complaining, that equals about $300 for you guys. since our stuff is generally double your price, even though the currency conversion isn't. Don't use currency conversion for this stuff, it doesn't work.

Yeah, there is no way it will launch anywhere near $600 in the US. Like Shiro said, around $300 seems right.
Yeah, I am going to go with an EB guestimate. They have to put a price in to take pre-orders and they certainly don't want to come in under the price as that may cause them a world of pain. In other words, $600 is the absolute outside number.

As an Australian, that is fully $300 more than I wll ever pay for one.
I will buy in at $400 as I did with the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360. Let's just call that the line I don't cross. Even then, I probably won't buy one until closer to Easter 2013 because games will be cheaper. I am not paying $100 a game. That is more important to me than the console price.
