I don't think the 3DS should have a price cut, considering how well its selling in Japan. It is only lower in America/Europe because there haven't been many games coming out for it right now. Also, America needs more colors.

3DS doesn't need a price cut anymore. It would sell above Vita even with a higher price point.

Why would Nintendo Price Cut 3DS?

PSV isn't a threat...at all. At least not at the moment.

Sure sales are relatively low in the U.S + Europe, but that should change once bigger games release. It's been nearly 2 years since 3DS released, and it still doesn't have that much outside of Japan. 2013 will have a huge line-up of Nintendo games:

Q1: Brain Age - Fire Emblem - Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Luigi's Mansion
Q2: Lego City Undercover - Animal Crossing
Q3: Mario Golf - Mario & Luigi - Donkey Kong Country
Q4: Pokemon - Zelda - Kirby

Of corse Q4 is a guess but I think its very likely. Japan can keep sales high until the rest of the world finally buys into the 3DS

Rival?

The 3DS doesn't need a price-cut.
It would be nice to see the XL get one though... or maybe some more colors for it in NA.

They don't need a price cut. They are still cheaper and they still offer a much more compelling game lineup.



SwansVanTerif on 18 February 2013

I don't think that'll happen before 2014.

The only thing that will need a pricecut after this one for the Vita is... that's right... the Vita again

Man... Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter and Pokemon the same year. Now does the 3DS need a price cut?
