They could probably try to sell them as smartphone chips or something, not sure if they would be competitive at that point. I just found this

Is that right? They were making a killing on that thing if so. They could've easily started that thing at 150-200 when it first released.

I think it's about right, but it doesn't account for shipping and distribution and exchange rate (i believe at the time JYen was deflating). Still, 3DS is cheap. That is why I don't think they'll push the specs of their next gens.

They won't but what will be considered "pushing the specs" in a couple of years will be more than this I think.
