Nintendo spoils us and as that report shows they always give us more bang for our buck. Is 250 too much for 3DS well considering GBA and DS both launched at 150$ yes it is 100$ more, include inflation and GBA was still only 180$ according to the Bank of Canada's inflation calculator. So that means that the 3DS is the most expensive handheld console produced by Nintendo to date. Of course Nintendo fans will be upset. However 250$ is reasonable as a home console as that is around what Nintendo typically charges for home units. Infact even Wii was more expensive then GameCube which after inflation is alittle over 240CDN. |
$250 does sound a bit high, regardless of how much features packed it is. In the end, it's still a portable gaming device that we all got used to seeing at $100-$150.
I don't think it will get the success that the DS has until it drops to $150. Hopefully, after 2 years after its release.
