Totally agree. In some ways (unless I'm missing something) the price somewhat surprises me. I'm sure they could sell it cheaper, and still make a profit.
The only reason I can see is they believe that it wouldn't actually sell much more at a lower price right now, so they might as well lose a few sales but price it for early adopters anyway, then drop the price if they see proper uptake and growth in demand.
This implies to me they feel the potential market for a digital channel only handheld is fairly small, still, compared to the demand for handhelds with physical game purchase.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
