you all forget 3DS launched at 250$?
DOUBLE the price of GBA
i agree somewhat on the lackluster SW sales.
HW will be comparable to GBA which was a much more kid friendly kinda toy-ish, and a lot cheaper too...its pretty good to me

They dropped it down pretty rapidly due to the poor sales. Taking into account inflation they're not that far apart after the first price drop and the difference is rather large between the two.

Yup, it's $169.99 (3DS) vs. $125 (GBA) with inflation taken into account, 3DS was only $249.99 for like 4 months before Nintendo hit the panic button. 

WATCH THE BIG DIFFERENCES

3ds sold 4.5m in the first six months at 250$, pricecut to 170 and stood ther

 

GBA launched at 130 and was pricecut to 99 later
