Rumor: OG 3DS getting price drop to $139 in 2 weeks; Blue 3DS XL w/ Mario Kart 7 for $199 coming (UPDATE: May just be discount?)

Nintendo needs 3DS to dominate the market in NA like it is in Japan. A further price cut would make it a great option. It would also help people transistion from DS. The DS is dead in Japan but still doing solid sales in America. I think Nintendo wants people to move on. Also, perhaps the manufacturing costs have dropped more, making this possible.
