GameStop drops 3DS price to $150 right before Vita launch, is this going to happen everywhere?

Starting to think Nintendo launching it at $250 was a tactic all along to trick people into thinking the drop to $170 was incredible. The fact it's going to be profitable by April only backs this up.

Nah, Nintendo really believed they were going to have a similar situation to the Wii on their hands when the 3DS launched, expecting it to sell like gangbusters based on word of mouth and being a must-have item that simply wouldn't stay stocked on shelves for very long.

Of course, they miscalculated badly (and were more than a little greedy in my book).  Had they held it back to say the summer when more software was ready for it, they could have launched it at $199 and still made a pretty penny off it, instead of being forced to slash prices so deep just to keep the things from collecting dust on store shelves and making themselves look like fools in the process.

"they miscalculated badly"

.. hahaha yeh its a miscalculation they will forever regret!.. and it will hurt so bad that their competitor vita will feel the burn instead!

well played eh? .. i wonder who looks like a fool now after the "mistake" nintendo made ..
