You're right, before its biggest hitters hit (brain age, NSMB, and Nintendogs). But it remained there for pretty much its entire life at the same time Wii stayed at launch price for years. My reasoning is that Nintendo has moved into a stance that they will not drop prices (even when competitors do) until their product's sales deem it necessary. 3DS will have big hitters within its first 90 days on the market and like DS @120 or Wii at the launch price it will remain at 250 for at least its first two years. Then it might see a marginal discount or simply do as DS did at 120 and focus on bundles and other offers. |
Just my reasoning is that it might happen with the 3DS.
Yes, the games will be steady, but they would all have to be mega hits to make up for the price.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
