Anyone else think the 3DS price will drop quickly?

I really don't understand what's the big deal with the price. The PSP and Wii launched at this price. What's the problem? Nintendo is being generous pricing it at 249.99 when they could have gone for way more and for what you're getting in the 3DS, $250 is a steal in my opinion.

Personally, I would love it to be cheaper, or better yet free! :D - - - - - but honestly, I think $249.99 is a pretty suitable price considering galsses-less 3D , more horsepower and most importantly, *demand*

You'd hear no arguments from me if they felt like making it $199.99 though :X

The Wii was NOT sold at that price. The Wii AND Wii Sports was. Sorry for the allcaps, but that fact cannot be ignored, especially since the system sold better in regions with it bundled than without.

And the Wii is also generally one system per household. Handhelds are expected to be owned by more, which is why they cost so little in the past compared to the home systems.
