Generally speaking, when a company drops the price on an item, retailers get that money kicked back to them. 

That's the thing, the price isn't being dropped till Sept 20th.  So if it is $350 until then it will basically sell nothing.  On the other hand, if Nintendo is paying to let retailers cut the price early, then what is the point of waiting for the 20th.  Either way, it doesn't really make sense to announce this so far ahead of the cut.

It does seem like an awkward scenario, at least if you had an ambassador deal it'd not stall sales, but Ninendo always announce their price cuts like this. Dunno why, but they do.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
