Pokemon X/Y is set to capture the female audience. And why the 3DS needs a price cut even more than the WiiU

What the Club Nintendo graphs show is that boys are more into video games, hence why they know about Club Nintendo and register their games. I wouldn't take these graphs as an accurate representation of the market.

But more importantly, the 3DS doesn't need a price cut at this point. The DS Lite launched at $150 and stayed at that price point for years. Parents buy iPhones for their kids, if their kids want an iPhone. If parents just want their kids to own a phone to call them whenever they please, they will go for a cheap option, presumably a non-contract phone. Parents will buy their kids a 3DS, if their kids want a 3DS. What I am saying with this paragraph is that pretty much your whole argumentation regarding money and price is flawed.

Special edition 3DSes with Pokémon art plastered on it, selling for $199 with a pre-installed copy of Pokémon X or Y. There's your attractive offer that can be made all the sweeter with a temporary holiday deal for $169. That's it. No need to write a huge essay.

While your analysis is respectable as always, the DS Lite actually launched at $129. The OG DS Phat launched at $150.

But still, I will take note.
