http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/21/iwata-3ds-likely-wont-sell-below-production-cost/ The 3DS is a Gamecube (almost a Wii) as a handheld with a revolutionary screen technology that currently does not exist in any other consumer device. In that sense, it CANNOT be compared to any other Nintendo handheld that's been released. Its cutting edge, not just in concept but in technology too. History, unfortunately, is not as useful as a guide in this case. |
No, that is an irrelevant point I glossed over. Power of the system has nothing to do with comparative prices between Japan and USA. DSi launched at over $40 below the exchange rate. History is the only relevant factor as increased exchange rates has never factored in before. Why should it now?
