Because the 3DS cames too late......
With its announcements this week, Nintendo has given Apple a chance to get even more entrenched in the gaming world – and the early pricing on the 3DS suggests the iPhone and iPod Touch could have plenty of time to expand that footprint.
Let’s get a few things out of the way, first. The Japanese price tag of 25,000 yen doesn’t carry a lot of weight in the U.S. or Europe.
While there was a lot of Sturm und Drang about that price meaning the 3DS will be a $300 handheld system when it hits our shores, analysts don’t expect the company to carry that price tag to other territories when the system launches in March. $250 is the current odds on favorite.
