Let's not go there.....Nintendo could TRIPLE their production and still sell ALL of their DSs

Nintendo will not drop the price of the DS until it falls to PS2 like sales.

The psp needs another price cut, I love it and all but its selling very bad.

PSP's been selling quite good lately, actually!
And yeah, I KNOW Nintendo won't reduce the price for quite a while, but if you take a look at recent PSP sales.. they just might do it if they feel those sales come too close to DS-level sales.. you know, just to stay ahead. In weekly sales, of course, not lifetime. I can imagine Nintendo wanting to lower the DS' price to boost sales even if they continue to sell as they are now, but the PSP was selling equally well.

In Japan I'd argue a price cut is due. The PSP's color releases do boost sales decently there.

they should lower it to 99 in Japan AFTER DWIX. The have saturated that market pretty well so I think a 99 pricepoint would be great there. We won't see a 99 dollar pricepoint in NA until 2010...

Its all pretty obvious, no?

Sales would skyrocket. But since its selling out anyway - it would be a terrible move from them.

Its a crazy call, but Nintendo need to start with more "premium" products - at a higher price point - next time around. They would make a heap more money off hardware.

Remember that in Japan, the DS sells for the equivalent of US$163.559. They probably need a price drop there, but not to $99.

All you people saying the DS is selling out where do you live, i live outside of Toronto and each store has 10-30 DS's each. This is not after a shipment either its like this every day.

The stores don't even carry enough good DS games now, i doubt they could keep enough for a price drop on the DS. Each store i go to has mario, mario cart, pokemon, brain and vision training and 7 different petz games and kids cartoon shows as games. I have never even seen Animal crossing or any of the good games i see people talking about.

I know it's all in jest, but that's going to annoy more people than it humors. I'm going on full out "let's try not to annoy people who don't like Nintendo so that more of them come and make this a more unbiased place" mode.

For the record, a 99 dollar PSP would sell like crazy. It's not going to happen for obvious reasons, but it would stlil sell like crazy. 

its still selling like crazy, so i dont think a price cut is comming soon
