| Euphoria14 said: Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Nintendo flat out say that they are charging so much for the 3DS because they realized too late that they could have charged more for the the DS? I am sure they could make the thing cheaper, only they choose not to because they want more money. Remember, Nintendo never sells at a loss. |
There's a difference between selling at a profit and selling above the mainstream sweet spot. Nintendo couldn't have sold the DS at a higher price anyway, because the true systems sellers weren't out yet.
"Or did you mean to suggest that the mainstream will deem the price too high?"
Yes, that is what I mean.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
