Very possible, and who knows maybe we get a pricedrop at E3. I have one question though. You mention dropping the 2ds to 99$, what are manufactoring costs on 2ds? If normal 3ds is around 90$, shouldn't 2ds be at least around 80$ to manufacture, since they're essecially the same machine? I know they cut costs by having just one larger touchscrern and no 3d, but I'd be interested in how large their price margin actually is with that thing. |
2DS gives you the sense that it costs 80$ to manufacture? I think it must be between 55$-65$!It's not only the things that you mentioned which cut costs,it's also the material by which is made...It doesn't have the same quality with the material of the original 3DS!
However,don't focus to price cuts height but just to price cut!:P I may exaggerated!

I was sort of guessing, I just couldn't imagine just the topscreen(+ hinges/cables etc) making that big of a diffrence: :P
Overall material quality is a good point though, so it could be cheaper than I thought.
Anyways I do agree that there should be a more substancial price drop for the older models. I mean look at Apple, they make it work, selling their old Iphone/ipad next to the new one/have several diffrent entry points for their laptops etc. Nintendo should be giving consumers a valid reason to bother with the 'old' 3DS models.
