They won't stop selling the DS anytime soon. Not with how well it continues to sell, even with the 3DS out. I say there will be at least another 1 1/2 - 2 years with the DS on the market. I also think Nintendo will at least wait til after the holiday season to lower the price of the 3DS, just to see how well it sells at max profit and how well the NGP does. |
Agreed on price, but they've already stopped producing the DS lite, so I wouldn't put it past them.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
