Well they announced an unprecedented early $80 price drop later that year so you can see where the writer is coming from.


Writer came from shit... 

"Less than six months later on July 28, 2011, Nintendo announced a significant price reduction from US$249 to US$169 amid disappointing sales." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_3DS

The 3DS price cut already happened and the announcement of MK7 and Super Mario 3D Land already occurred.  This article is supposedly written on Oct 22, 2011 which is months after the price cut and the start of the 3DS revitalization.
