You get what you pay for.

If you want "cheap", then you can have a weak-ass chip and a shitty quality screen, but hey you saved $50 on something that you probably will be using for 5 years.

Which means you saved yourselves a whopping 83 cents per month. You can't even buy a cheeseburger from McDonalds with that. 

You can't seriously expect to have anything but a piece of shit hardware wise that's compromised up the ying yang for $199.99, people need to understand inflation is a thing too. Just like you can't buy a Coca-Cola for 75 cents anymore, you can't expect $200 to be the defacto hold price for game portables forever and ever and ever. 

The Super NES launched at $199.99 in 1991, today that would be almost $353. Inflation happens. 

I'd rather pay $250 or even $300 for a reasonably decent piece of hardware with a reasonably nice quality screen (that is the freaking thing you'll be staring at for hundreds of hours).

This is not the 3DS-2, this is going to have the carry the *entire* Nintendo traditional gaming brand forwards (CONSOLE and portable). People dying for a $199.99 price are out to lunch, the only thing you're going to get at that price is a piece of shit hardware compromised in every which way which in 2 years you'll be wishing had a better quality chipset or more RAM or a screen that didn't look it was from your grandma's 2003-era portable DVD player.
