Nintendo Confirms that the Revolution Will Debut Below $340

Nintendo Revolution

If you’ve been following closely on the Nintendo Revolution’s development (Sorry, gotta admit I’m not giving it enough coverage), you would’ve known that the Revolution will probably debut at a price below that of the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. But of course, we all love that feeling of reassurance whenever we get an official confirmation. Nintendo’s President, Mr. Satoru Iwata, has announced to Yahoo! Japan that the Nintendo Revolution will cost less than 39,795 Yen (US$337), which is supposedly what the Xbox 360’s lowest retail price is so far.

People are making wild guesses at the Revolution’s price over at Digg. What’s your guess?

Note: The Digg story says $299. But trust me, try punching 39,795 Yen into XE.com.
