People seem to be saying $80 price cut and not the ratio which is a an unprecedented 32% price drop in such a short period of time. The jump from 250 to 170 is massive. Also a 5 second google search found that the PS3 dropped officially from 599 to 499 in 2007 and not 399 like Carl2291 said it did. That and I bought one in late 2007 and knew this.
At its 170 price most consumers are probably confusing it as a new DS iteration like the DSi and DSXL so of course it will sell, compounded with those that actually wish to purchase one for Mario and Mario Kart.
Now if the 3DS sold this many at its $250 price tag, then i'd be impressed and rightfully so. I don't know why so many are defensive over Nintendo outselling a Nintendo device. I bought one at launch and am just stating it how it is. Those counter arguing with 'we don't know why people are so offended by this', we're not, we're just unimpressed.
