@kynes
first of all thank you for asking questions and not making accusations like happy. I remember my promise to you and I'm happy i have this opportunity to exercise it with a rational person.
Sony cannot keep msrp for much longer. I said at one point in this thread that I had believed a price drop was incoming, so I checked to see at what point sales wise 3ds had its price dropped because it might be a good metric. I believe a price drop will happen ww early winter, maybe feb or early march, and if not, then april first and depending on how this upcoming software lineup plays out, could even be delayed until july. I say this out of respect for quarterly concerns. sony wants as much black ink on the financial report as possible and a price cut pre march will post red. So, if possible, they will delay until right after march fy is over, but if it can maintain sales will try for another quarter.
The alternative is that they continue at 250 at include the first party tearaway or soul sacrifice or some manner of ps+ bonus. I don't see them price dropping until march.
