3DS is $299 to much?

[Words Of Wisdom]

$299 is definitely too much for me.  

To put this price in perspective, here's a nice cost comparison between past handhelds (stolen from Sankaku):

GB – ¥12,800
GBC – ¥8,900
GBA – ¥9,800
GBASP – ¥12,500
DS – ¥15,000
DSL – ¥16,800
DSi – ¥18,900
DSiLL – ¥20,000
3DS – ¥25,000
