Tomorrow, $200

I think they've kinda drawn the line in the sand now that they will want profits, and aren't willing to take a loss on the Wii U hardware.

When they're able to drop the price due to manufacturing price reductions then they will do so, but not any time sooner.

The 3DS is actually closer to the end of its lifecycle than people think IMO, Nintendo needs to salvage something from this disasterous generation and be able to post a few profitable years here if at all possible and the Wii U cannot interfere with that, if it only sells 3-4 million/year, then Nintendo will live with that, but they can't have losses from the Wii U eating into the 3DS "harvest" which is smaller than they would've liked to begin with. 

Well, bot mine right now for 279 Euros including Mario Kart 8. For me a rather competitive price.

They should have done it months(year?) ago, there is a lot of topics on that subject already, they should go with $249 32GB SKU ASAP, at least without games.

"The 3DS is actually closer to the end of its lifecycle than people think IMO"

Agreed, it's already falling, and it'll be difficult to sell the same system with the same games for the 3rd time and even more difficult to make a profitable new one, handheld market is pretty much dead in the next generation, it's completely supressed by the mobile.

Never.

but......when will the ps4 get a price cut?! X1 already did with no Kinect.

Not even after an x1 $50 price cut ;)

Not anytime soon. They have pretty much given up the battle for marketshare so it's all about profits now.

Nailed it OP.
