its hard to imagine due to how nintendo does business.
they make their products very efficiently, they are cheap for consumers to buy and cheap to make thus they make a profit on every system sold always, yet isn't some rediculous price like $599
so as long as they continue to do smart business, and not get swept up into trying ot implement the next cool technology then I say for sure yes. So this 3DS is a big test, What will teh 3DS cost?
