Nintendo getting arrogant with 3ds the way Sony did with ps3?

I'd have to say no.

Nintendo was arrogant like Sony when they released the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. GameCube humbled them a bit and I think they have grown increasingly humble over the years. Even at the beginning of the Wii Nintendo said they could support and sell the hardware without the help of any third parties (A very bold and arrogant statement) but with the 3DS Nintendo is trumpeting third parties and with the Wii today Nintendo is constantly trying to boost 3rd party support.

As others said the PSP launched at 250$ and many believe the 3DS will also launch at that price. So its not really arrogant of Nintendo. Even if it launched at 300$ thats not to drastic, sure if the console went for 400$ then that would be arrogant but even 300$ is a reasonable price for such advanced technology.

Plus, Nintendo has always said they will not sell hardware at a loss. Is that arrogance? No its just smart buisness and if the 3DS costs 200-250$ to manufacture then Nintendo is being very reasonable to ship it at 250-300$. Its just a stupid buisness decision to launch hardware at a loss.
