Man! Only Nintendo can get hate from a price cut.

They're always one step beyond!!!

There's more truth to that statement in this particular instance. 

The contingency plan to drop the MSRP of the 3DS was undoubtedly made shortly after SCE announced the pricing for the PSV. The two devices don't compare favorably at the same price and Nintendo simply won't have enough solid software titles by the time the PSV debuts to level the perceived differences between the value of each for any consumer on the fence between one or the other.

That plan was implemented when it became apparent Nintendo was nowhere near close to hitting its initial sales projections for the device. 

The reality is the only people who have a legitimate reason to be upset about the price cut are the early adopters, as no one expects to see a new gaming platform experience a 32% drop in price after only 4 months. Anyone else who was interested in buying one, but balked at the price should be pleased with Nintendo.
