Kinda.

Although they still have some way to go yet until they match the Sony arrogance of a few years back

 

The difference between 3DS/PS3 pricing though... Is that Sony were losing $200 per PS3 when it launched at $600. So they were actually doing consumers a favor despite the mahoosive price tag.

Nintendo will probably be making a LOT of money on each 3DS sold for $250 (or maybe even more...) Not doing consumers a favor at all really, just milking them like crazy.

At least right now,this would be purely speculation on your part.

Besides, even if it is true, isn't that what Sony did with PSP Go? It is actually cheaper than PSP Go's launch price when it's released a year and half later. You are certainly right that they still have a long way to go in order to catch Sony on arrogance.

True. Nothing but guesswork and just going by Japan prices but... Yaknow. Could be $200, or less.

As for PSP Go. Totally different situation. They didn't price it according to fan hype after an already planned price point. They put it at that price because they didn't expect it to sell well, and it was just a test for a new market.

3DS is the follow up to what will be the best selling videogames system... Ever. It's got massive hype behind it already, everybody already wants one. PSP Go... Not so much.

Although I do agree it was way overpriced.
