Which country are you talking about? Because I'm pretty sure that was the launch price that was reduced just a few months after the release due to bad sales.

My bad, I got that mixed up. I was convinced the XL was 250$ but it's not.

Are you from Australia? haha

249->169->199

March '11- August '11 - July '12

They slashed 3DS price in August, sales skyrocketed, but Nintendo lost money ( blame it on the expensive 3D effect )! Nintendo launched immediately 3DS XL  the next year for 199$,  essentially increasing  the price of 3DS ( manufacturing cost of the XL version was the same the smaller one ), sales were steady  and 3DS hardware became profitable! For the story, Gba sp was released two years after gba , ds lite  launched two years after ds...

Nintendo went overboard with the  price drop...
