HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yall on vgchartz are more naive than I thought. $170 probably was the original planned price for the 3ds. So do u guys realize what Nintendo have just done?
THEY HAVE JUST FORCED 4 MILLION+ PEOPLE TO BUY $80 worth IN DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT!!!!
and at the same time now 3ds looks like a steal, and Sony is now caught off-guard. They are true financial geniuses.
All this talk of losing money(which provides great cover/misdirection BTW) are totally natural for whats going on with the R&D for a freaking new console. Which is totally unrelated to the 3ds, they are in no trouble whatsoever.. (um they cant lose money on something that sells at $80+-? profit).
And all this salary cut BS is just an act.

And the beauty of all this? U cant dare bring this 'speculation 'up without sounding like a loony fanboy HAHAHAHAHAHA

*sigh*

Don't laugh. Or.. let's laugh together. :)

I was thinking exactly the same. And the more I think of it the more plausible it seems.

I think they chose a high price first and then they'd lower it when they get to know Sony's price. Now they're 10.000 Yen (15.000 resp.) lower than Sony for the Vita, which costs 25.000 or 30.000 Yen. And that's a friggin huge difference.
