3D is very easy to sell if assuming people get their hands on it. Anything less than 300$ will be successful (i.e. Nintendo successful, breaking records left and right).


$300 won't really push 3DS,maybe because of the COOL factor but it will come after that

but they can release it at $300 this year as PSP is posing no competition and then reduce price next year as PSP2 launches and manufacture costs go down


I don't know about that; when you really impress your customers, they're willing to pay the price. PS3 at 600$ didn't crumble solely due to the price, as well as Wii didn't succeed due to the low entry point as well. It's all about value in your product, and 3D is easily justifiable.

wii didn't entirely succeed because of the low entry price but PS3's expensive price helped it too alot

about the PS3,even with the features at an expensive price and brand power it didn't succeed

 

so saying 3DS would sell well is a guarantee but saying it will be no.1 even if $300 AND PSP2 releasing under the price next year puts its no.1 position in a bit of doubt

well i dont' know how many people are like me, but a consoles price affects me, not another consoles price.

I didn't buy the Wii because the PS3 was $600.  I bought the Wii because it was a reasonable price I was willing to pay and it was a system that looked fun and I wanted.

I didn't buy a PS3 beacuse of the price.  Sure it looked like it woudl be fun, had great features and based on past I expected it to have great games as well.  If asked me before this generation started which systems I would buy, I would for sure had said PS3.  All my friends and seemed everyone I knew owned a PS2, lots of great games for it, and so on.  There seemed no reason not to get PS3, and when shown seemed same way, but then $600 and its like "oh never mind then, I can't afford that"

But not affording PS3 didn't make me get Wii.  It wouldnt' make me get a 360 instead either.  I woudl get any system I want, not based on other conosles, but based on the console itself and if in my price range
