I got the $50 for the base control, minus the secondary controller.  It goes up beyond that.  What will matter with the 3DS is the price point.  I also have to wonder about the raw specs for it.  I have seen some promising stuff, but others may not be as much.  Anyhow, will wait and see.  I heard people say the 3DS is really good, second hand.  Need to hunt down those direct comments about it.


Yeah, people seem to like it. 3DS price point is indeed a big question right now, still, there's no way it'll be as expensive as a 3D ready TV :P

But yeah, hope it's nothing over the top.

yeah but knowing ninty though they wont go over 250 price point for it. the tech in it is probably not as expensive as people think it is. i mean the way things are running now even cell phones are doing HD like droid, iphone etc. so i think with the way ninty does business it would not be good if it was over 250 and yet they could easily do maybe 220 or even 200 by the time it comes out and still make a profit. 

 

i think the whole 3D console gaming was alot like blue ray 5 years ago. too early and plus there really are not anything to watch like on blue ray except aliens and monsters. then you add in teh glasses and then you would have to add in the tv and that just kills it right there. 

as for kinect and move i think the price point for kinect is a bad move period. maybe a few years down the road it woudl be a really nice feature to add to windows 8 or 9 along with the price being 50 to 100 dollars but the way it is now its not worth it. the move for the ps3 i think wont do well either i mean it wont sell new consoles like they think it will cause you are adding around 100 dollars to even the base ps3's price. it just dont make sense right now to do it. 

i for one thing after seeing the sales of the slim 360 as of late ninty will take notice and either one drop the price of the wii 50 bucks which would really kill off kinect. or they will drop the price of the current wii but then release a HD version of wii like alot of people is starting to call for. which a HD WII could come out at 250 or even 200 with wiisports and wiisports resort with upgraded graphics and power and it will start selling big again i think. cause people would trade in their old wii for the new one.
