$250 was a stupid move. I'm just really glad they're learning their lesson before the Wii U comes out.
A $250 slice of humble pie is a hell of a lot easier when you can afford a price drop than a $600 slice you can't.
So now they're looking forward to a Mario Kart/Zelda/Starfox/Super Mario holiday with a system parents can pick up on impulse.
We may analyze this from a business perspective since a sales site naturally gravitates towards that kind of thought, but your average consumer couldn't care less. They're getting a new 3DS dirt cheap by comparison.
