The moment the psv was announced for 250$ i just don't see how anyone didn't see this coming. 80$ is way too much though.

Even if it weren't for that, we all knew a cut to $200 was by year end. Nintendo just went ahead and 1up everyone's prediction, lol.

It wasn't obvious that Nintendo would do that.  And if people found it obvious, it was only because the 3DS was underperforming by a pretty good amount.  This was not a calculated move by Nintendo, it was a reaction to the missed expectations.
