| sethnintendo said: Like I said in another thread. Late Feb, March, April, May is when USA citizens get some of their money back in tax returns. Easy time for some to throw down on a video game console. They didn't for 3DS because 250 is too much for a hand held. Once the price dropped to 200 is when the 3DS started making strides. Oh and games... |
