1. Nintendo said Japan will be 25,000Y
2. Nintendo launched the Wii in Japan for 25,000Y
3. Nintendo launched the Wii in US for $250
4. Nintendo said SMB edition of DSi XL is 18,000Y
5. Nintendo sells DSi XL for $180 in US now
I think this all demonstrates that Nintendo of America will most probably say the 3DS is $250 in the US and comparable prices in EU, etc.
Even if this price means its a loss due to exchange rates, they know it will be popular as well as its software, so they'll still make a great deal of profit from each unit sold.
