Would people really be upset if it is to be more than $200? I'd be really surprised if it was that price or less...

How much time until 3DS surpasses the 3 consoles? I think it will surpass Xbox 360 and PS3 in just 12 months, for Wii it needs 2 years or more.

EDIT: I meant in Japan, obviously LOL.

On issues like this I won't believe anybody else than Pachter and his mighty crystal ball!!!!

Told y'all a week ago! I guess my little Microsoft mole was correct. :)

It's not going to be $249.99. Why would Nintendo pull a Sony and kill their own handheld right out of the gate? $199.99 at the absolute most. 

more than 250$ for nintendo handheld? not happening.

i would say that it will be 200$ most likely.

Man I hope he's wrong, or I'll have to pass.

I wonder if it is the same analysts that predicted the DS would launch at 199.99?

Yeah right.  $249 is the highest Nintendo's ever charged for a home console, and even then they've only done that once.  To think that'd be the minimum price for their new handheld is ludicrous.

$180 tops, I say.

And it was 249 with a game packed in , in japan the wii sales for something around 199,99 (But they dont get Wii sport bumbled with the console)

But this time nintendo can send one or two simple games pre-installed with the console for 199,99.
