No its not desirable, thats pretty much the main reason. Remember 3ds had to have its price cut early on so its not like that system is some kind of phenom. What is most interesting is the whole nobody will buy a Ninty console for 300 bucks when their is a cheaper alternative, again that cheaper alternative had to have an early price cut because people werent buying it for that price. SO it seems Ninty has a image problem where people dont think its products are worth a certain price. And it is a problem because the comp can sell their systems for 400 even 500 and do much better, why that is i wish that is.

The 3DS didn't become a thing until after the price cut because that's when the games actually started showing up.

so price cut had nothing to do with turnaround? yeah cause people really wanted to play OoT for the 10th time. alright man

Yeah cause I totally said that. lol nope! My point was you can't say Nintendo games aren't desirable just because the the system was struggling at first, since again the 3DS didn't yet have the Nintendo library to be desirable with. People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, so of course people aren't going to buy a Nintendo console when it's lacking Nintendo games. Once they came though, 3DS starting selling well. Obviously the price cut helped, but it would have done next to nothing without the games.
