Agreed. $200 Mario Kart bundle makes sense. The price drop doesn't. The system is doing very well with the current price.

How dare they trying to kill of the Vita momentum...

Nah. But it would kill the Vitas hopes for recovery if so.

But 3DS is still $199, so the 3ds won't loose any perceived value.

If they are both side by side in a gaming store (which they are), they are competing.

which retail stoes are vita and 3DS side by side? we can have a picture contest if you want unless you are spewing bullshit.

Um.....like most of them? Handheld sections tend to have both together.

Seems unlikely but possible. Personally expect a price cut when Animal Crossing lands.

pezus said: Nintendo price cutting right in the middle of the holiday season? Is it a sign of things to come?

That and the supposed Wii mini tells me something is not going right, most likely will miss their Wii and 3DS numbers.  Guess we will find out in about a month and a half.

In most retail stores you will seldom find the two products next to each other.  The same way you will not find coke and pepsi and next to each other but rather on the oppsite ends of and isle.  In most modern Best buys, the 3ds and vita are not side by side, neither in walmart  nor gamestop.

This would be a clever (and aggressive) tactic from Nintendo to wipe Sony from the portable gaming market once and for all! Would be very interesting if they did it. They'd have a 100% monopoly
