Forums - Nintendo - Pachter Time: 3DS edition

Eh, $250 was generally deemed too high by the press back when Wii's pricepoint was announced.  Actually, someone should dig up what Pachter said on it then...

Man I love this guy.

...though this is probably one of his most logical assumptions yet. Because it's obvious



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I think he's got the price points right, though I'd like a lower UK price. £180, please?

As for another delay to the launch, I think he's gone wrong there. He's ignoring that Nintendo have stated they will ship 4 million units in one month, which points to a big global launch between Feb26th and the end of March. There's no way they'll ship 4 million to Japan in one month. Besides, Nintendo's last major hardware launch ('major' meaning a completely new system, not hardware revisions) took place inside of a month, didn't it? November 19th to December 8th for Wii in 2006.

They've missed the crucial end of year sales period to ensure there's enough stock for a global launch, I feel. Those 4 million units will be shipped across Japan, Europe and North America by the end of March 2011.

You can predict what's already announced?

I also predicted that rain is wet.

I don't think there will be a delay, I just think the release here in Europe will be pushing it
