I didn't want to make a new thread for it, but if you think the 3DS is to expensive, then IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! According to this article anyway.

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/09/30/3ds_price/

As reported at Bloomberg, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata explained the price decision during an analysts meeting yesterday. Someone suggested that the system's price tag of ¥25,000 yen might be on the high side. Iwata responded that the the price was set by considering a number of factors, including reactions to the system's E3 reveal.

Mock if old.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

All those features that you mentioned are what I bolded above, so you're still full of shit. And this is coming from a guy that's preordering not 1, but 2 3DSes as soon as they're available.

Yes I am and you sir are an idiot. Good day and I hope you enjoy your 3DS. I know I will enjoy mine in march '11

alright guys, no more personal insults please. Discussion seems to be over but I just want it to be clear that if you continue posting like this I'll have to start moderating.

calling someone full of shit is fairly insulting, certainly isn't a compliment.

I certainly did not call him any names like he called me. I just said what everyone else was thinking.

Why just do not launch few SKUs in price range of $200-300, differentiated by internal memory size, 3G-connectivity or whatever features?

No. Just no.

Oh come on; you know they could knock at least... like 25 cents off the MSRP if that stylus was made out of recycled plastic bottles or paper instead of, what is that? Stainless steel?

And screen options? No 3D screen. Because you know there will be That Guy that complains how he doesn't want to play for "gimmicky 3D effects that I can't see anyway because I have a glass eye."

I'm sure Nintendo could sell an SKU for well under $200... if it didn't come with any screens at all.

Over 200 for a handheld is pushing it in my opinion, then again its all about the games . Someone needs to deliver that killer app and so far i don't see it amongst the launch titles. The 3D novelty will wear out eventually but backwards compatibility will help the system as an upgrade to DS of sorts. All in all at this time i don't see how 3DS is gonna replicate DS's succsess even if it is a cool system.
