What may end up happening is that the 3DS will simply end up cannibalizing sales of DSi due to the closer price points.
It will be interesting to see how the August total sales add up at any rate. Naturally, the 2011 holiday season could be the make or break determiner for the future of the 3DS.
With the massive and early price cut, Nintendo won't be cutting the price again until the hardware sees a major cost cutting revision (difficult as the 3DS is already a low cost BOM device) or risk sending the signal that the 3DS is a dead platform on the way out.
To some, the new price point will seem like a bargain, but to many others, until the library improves, lower cost is not enough to pick up a new gaming platform.
