"Sony was innovating in a few ways adding new features never seen before on a mainstream handheld games console. 3DS only really added 3D to the picture" - so Sony has added new features "never seen before on a mainstream handheld" while all Nintendo added was 3D? Well... Let's just say I strongly disagree.

OT, no matter what the results of the poll will be, they will have less people voting "yes, at this price" than if it was a poll of a random group of potential handheld buyers - this being a gamer site, there will be more people who held off because of lack of this or that game and not because of price.

Well I wouldn't say Nintendo didn't add much to the handheld industry. Obviously they built it but their defining hardware feature is the 3D and the PS Vita has many more defining features rather then one main one. The gyro's Nintendo has done before, the camera Nintendo has done before, the analog controls Sony did last gen. Nintendo did innovate tons on the software side with things like Augmented reality etc...etc.. but in all the main selling feature of 3DS is 3D and that is the biggest contributing factor in its success.

As for this poll being biased. Its a poll of gamers if I asked this to just random people off the street half wouldn't even know what a 3DS is due to Nintendo's lack of advertising. This thread is doing exactly what I wanted I wanted to know how many gamers here on VGChartz who said they would not buy 3DS due to the high price, will change their minds due to the lower price. See just what the gamers think of this price cut will it change their minds and influence their purchase.

The whole games thing might be a factor. However this thread wasn't made to discuss the games just the price and if at this price point would VGChartz users purchase a 3DS. Do VGChartz users think that 169.99$ is a fair price and worth the purchase. The thread shows that over two thirds of VGChartz users think 169.99$ is a fair price and will or have already purchased a 3DS!
