| RolStoppable said: I expected this to be a joke thread, but thankfully it's not. Nintendo isn't "killing" the DSi XL by keeping its price higher than the one of the 3DS. People either want a 3DS or they don't want a 3DS and those people who want a DS can still opt for a cheaper model than the DSi XL, if they are put off by the fact that an old XL costs more than a new 3DS. But whatever a particular customer decides, Nintendo is only going to make one sale to that person anyway, so what exactly is the problem here? The only actual problem would be if a potential customer decides against a Nintendo handheld altogether. |
But amongst those actually wanting a Nintendo portable, pricing DSi XL that way damages its potential sales (for those wanting a bigger screen and waiting for DSi XL to become cheaper, other models aren't an option). Let's not forget LL is currently the best seller DS in Japan, and it has been for quite a long time.
