IGN has gotten some developers to spill the beans on Revolution and it’s hardware. I think it’s a little early to know if this info will remain accurate until launch, but it’s interesting. I knew that Nintendo was aiming for a lower target than Microsoft and Sony, but this is the first news of any kind that the price could realistically be lower than people think.

Software houses we spoke with also waxed on the immediate advantage to Nintendo’s approach with Revolution, which is, of course, system price. Every developer was in agreement that Revolution should launch with a price tag of $149 or lower. Some speculated that based on the tech, a $99 price point would not be out of the question.

That’s pretty crazy, considering the Nintendo DS is currently $129.99. I’ll remain skeptical until closer to launch.
