This could change everything... Rumour has it that Nintendo might be release Wii devkits for under $2k. This would mean a ludicrously low cost of entry for developers who wish to create games for Nintendo's next machine.

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata along with the Board of Directors answered many questions at a corporate management policy briefing held last week which revealed that the price of the Wii development kits would now cost as low as $1,732. Iwata expects to increase funding for research and development to prepare for launch.

Brilliant.
