Nothing new, but maybe somethings you never knew before. In addition, there are several comments from third parties that make you smile at how quickly they’ve flip flopped.

• $50 of the Wii’s price is profit, could be cut in future to counter PS3/360 price drops
• It costs $5 Million to develop Wii game, $20 Million to make a PS3 game
• Ubisoft: Nintendo is best console maker to work with
• EA: Nintendo is a pioneer
• “Wii 2.0″ could come in a few years with PS3 technology at affordable price (speculation)
• Wii and DS relation could become like Mac/iTunes with an iPod

Thanks to Robert for the heads up!
