Now, there's little wrong with remaining open to the possibility of 3DS sales failing to improve despite the price cut, but this is a ridiculous parallel to draw. While early price cuts do indeed signify weak reception, they are certainly not representative enough of the console's health and potential lifetime appeal to judge its future by. In a more extreme case, this would be like saying "oh, look, every one of X company's consoles that releases on a leap year is a failure - that must mean that any console they release on a leap year has to fail". I'll grant that this actually has some logic backing it up and it isn't superstition, but I'd argue that this isn't as much causality as it is correlation.
