They'd sell out the first year regardless of whether they priced it at $250 or $300. I don't see a problem with it being a higher price however it is Iwata's decision and Pachter was only offering an opinion. Offering an opinion isn't a crime when we have over 50 opinions in this thread already on Pachters opinion.

When it's trying to sway investors to the systems he wants, then it is dishonest.

Hes not saying that the 3DS will fail, hes saying that Nintendo in his opinion could have made even more money at a higher launch price that is all. Given the success of the Wii and the perenial shortages for two years he does have a point.
