Especially considering how much they overpriced the 3DS to begin with.

And after the price cut, it was selling at a heavy loss until NSMB 2 came out. This is where the risky business decisions end up paying off in the end.

If by "selling at a heavy loss" you mean "making profit on each system sold", you are correct. According to Eurogamer- each 3ds costs $101 dollars to make and Nintendo were selling them for $250. They were criminally overpriced because they knew demand was there for the system. There was no risky business descision involved in lowering the price.
