According to wikipedia (in order of revisions), the price was: 149 - 149 - 169 - 179.

 

@Miyamoto... Delio must expect that all 3DS owner will easily buy a switch at 299$ and a Mario kart 8 port for 50$, when they have bought a 3DS for 169-199$ and Mario kart 7 for 40$... Sure!
 
I never said the transition will be easy or swift, nor implied it. What i said was that if the product is appealing enough, price won't be a priority - as it clearly wasn't for PS4.

Also, Switch started at a higher price point. Second, do you really expect them to cut 100-150 dollars in a year and lose all price leverage so they can cover for 3DS death?
They will have more than enough time to reach that mark.

Then sorry for my subtly aggresive style... It's not you fault it seems, it's wikipedia's! Where did you see it?

DS lite costed 20$ less than FAT DS...( NA basically the USA) 129$

When we talk about prices, we must refer to biggest  core video game market of the world!

 

North America[edit]

The Nintendo DS Lite was released on June 11, 2006, for US$129.99 in the United States (as of June 2011, $99.99), and CA$149.99 in Canada.^[14]

Why should we only use the US?

The price was actually higher in Japan.
Overall, only cheaper in the US.

That doesn't change anything.
Nintendo's MO hasn't been of releasing right away a cheaper product.
And if we ignore launch prices and just look at current prices, we could probably include GBA SP, too.

Also, as i told Miyamotoo, recent Nintendo comments show that a simple handheld is far, far away.
