Dev kit to be very cheap

[fackue]

Not sure if this is posted here but whatever.

Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata previously stated that the Wii development kit would cost less than $2000. This was great news, offering independent developers a chance to make games on the Wii without spending a fortune.

In a recent briefing Satoru Iwata has gone further still and claimed the kit would now cost as low as $1732 USD. The first picture of the kit can be seen below.

They were double or even triple the price.

I seriously doubt it's going to be that cheap. Nintendo is the most hardened of companies when it comes to control over their developers.
