Any word on the 3DS cut effect on initial sales?

Well clearly with such a huge price cut the initial boost will be massive.

What matters is how long it lasts and presumably the contra will be that DS sales have fallen off a cliff.

Totally this.

Only if you believe that there was a massive number of people who had to decide between a DS and a 3DS in the last few months. At this point in a generation there are still plenty of late adopters who don't even think about the newest gaming system.

I think what will be hurting the DS more is that Nintendo stopped production of the cheaper DS Lite model.

It'll be, at this time, I think, swept along in the hype.

While 3DS is not quite THE most amazing thing ever right now, the vibe in the shops with that price must be very positive, and the price is logical still, even if still much more expensive than a good ol' DS.

Once 3DS levels after the pricecut, so will the DS.
