Anyone else wondering when the 3ds will get its next price cut!?

I'm a core nintendo fan (have been since the late 80s/early 90s) ,already own a 3ds, bought it day one etc and have played the majority of the games on offer...still there's 4 or 5 on offer I'm pretty excited about. Plus they haven't mentioned 'em all yet. I know people who are considering buying one before the pricecut just to get these games, so obviously some of us are happy with the offer.

What else could they do? It's better than a kick in the ass.

Realistically they'd have to expect backlash from some angle as it's impossible to satisfy everybody all the time.

It wasn't obvious that Nintendo would do that.  And if people found it obvious, it was only because the 3DS was underperforming by a pretty good amount.  This was not a calculated move by Nintendo, it was a reaction to the missed expectations.

I wouldn't expect one for like 2 years if the price cut does what people think/assume it will do.  Nintendo didn't want to make this cut and are losing money now.  If you want to buy it and you see games you want on the horizon, I probably wouldn't hesitate.  Unless you can only buy one handheld and Vita has you undecided. Then maybe wait for more Vita news. 

nyanks thinks he knows everything

I want both LOL, but for now it's starcraft 2 and come fall, well there's too many awesome console games!

why because he posted replies?... thats what people do in a forum...

Exactly.  This was a FUD move by Nintendo.  Their system wasn't performing very well and the PSV is 3-4 months away from release.  I think Nintendo didn't believe the 3DS had a chance against the PSV with the same price point.  And while I agree with that stance, I still think their price cut was premature.  They should have at least waited out the holiday and cut near the beginning of the year if they needed to.  They could have even pushed the cut as a celebration of its 1st full year on market.  At least then it would seem legit and not be seen as desperation by the gaming public and investors.

lol

wait...you were being serious? You do realize nintendo's biggest system seller will probably be Mario Kart 7. The only reason worth buying a 3ds up to this point was because of a 1998 port. Seems like the new mario land will be based on super maario 64. dont forget about the star fox 64 remake that is coming. Oh and what about Pokemon? Nintendo't trump card that has been recycled for generations.

If anything Nintendo is the prime example why Call of Duty is soo successful. Brand Name + Simple casual fun that hasn't changed

wow ok, so YOURE being serious. interesting opinions you got there. ok there are two reasons why this is amusing. first is this: you are trying to compare seven mario karts in a span of 19 years to seven call of dutys in... 7 years. dont get me wrong, both have seven games but.. 7 years vs 19 years. yeah, you know im not exactly sure where they learned to do that, but it definitely wasn't from nintendo. second: by comparing the two you are implying that the differences in how mario kart games are played are THE SAME as the way call of duty games are played. ok, im sorry but the simple fact that call of duty has 7 games in 7 years doesnt allow much change from game to game. its similar to the change in each sequential madden game.

as for mario kart. mario kart 64 played much much differently from its super nintendo predecessor. you know why? its because they took their time with it and released it five years later. same with double dash, they released it five years later. mario kart wii has freakin motion sensing that works better than any motion sensing in racing to this day. thats a HUGE step up from the first one. sorry, but i cant say the same for call of duty. so your comparison pretty much fails.
