I think they should just bite the bullet ...

$299.99 32GB Model w/Nintendo Land

$349.99 32GB Model w/Nintendo Land + Zelda: Wind Waker HD + $20 eShop credit on select games (W101, Lego, Pikmin 3, etc.).

They might as well keep the $299.99 SKU, just make it a lot less gimped.


I agree, no need for a true price cut, just better value bundles


Well a price cut would be more ideal, but I don't think Nintendo can cut the price.

They need to pull a profit this fiscal year, because otherwise they'll have wasted one of the 3DS' prime earning years, and I think quite frankly, push come to shove, Nintendo chose the 3DS over the Wii U as their "go to" system to carry the company financially for the next few years.

And they paid a dear price to do so taking their first loss in the company's 100+ year history to rescue the 3DS.

The Wii U? They're just not willing to go there again for it. If it's a GameCube 2.0, I think Nintendo will swallow it as a bitter pill, learn their lesson, and move on. But they need to make a profit this fiscal year, otherwise I think Iwata knows the stockholders are really going to turn against him.

So with that in mind, if they can't cut the price outright, I'd suggest the above. They need every dollar of profit from the 3DS this year badly, they cannot have the Wii U cancelling out some of that profit by eating a bigger hardware loss on it.
