based on what? people are paying 200$ all over the place for the 5 year old 3DS in stores, and nearly as much for used ones of the new model online. You are probably the same exact person who would claim that Nintendo couldn't have priced the NES Classic Edition over 50$ and still sell them, yet they sent out like 200,000 of them at that price point and they all sold out and then people were paying $200+ online for them. obviously that's a big undershipment but still there is no way in hell a Nintendo handheld + home console combined system does poorly, even at 300$. too many people are interested in the two markets and two many people are interested in getting a combined library. Its an unparalled thing in the past, people will be buying a system where they can get the mainline Zelda and Mario games AND get the Pokemon and Monster Hunter games on the same system (potentially obviously it will occur) In fact its already almost been confirmed that BOTH the new Open World Zelda AND a new mainline 3D Mario will be out near launch for the system. Nintendo will probably have trouble keeping up with demand. Launching under 300$ is practically guranteeing them lost money, I mean look at the Switch launch reveal (and frankly the Breath of the Wild response). Unparalled positivity from mass casuals compared with practically any other system Its almost as if some of you naysayers are trying to make something be simply because you want to save 50$ or whatever when the vast majority of people are not going to stop buying it for that difference when people already spending 250$ for special editions of the 5 year old 3DS currently |
So you're telling me that 3DS flew off the shelf when it was selling at launch? Because I recall it struggling until it dropped $50 in price.
