To achieve that though Nintendo had to swing in with the fastest and biggest post-launch price cut ever (I'm guessing) for a Nintendo handheld. And what have we seen in the interveneing years? An massive slide towards less than 50% on a launch aligned comparison. |
While that is certainly true I have to point out that the 3DS launched at $250 versus the DS which launched at $150. It needed that price cut because it was massively overpriced to begin with (not unlike the Vita) and once that barrier was removed it performed just as well as its predecessor, or at least until smartphones really became entrenched.
