I can't say I didn't see this one coming. Nintendo of America has just announced that it will be dropping the price of it’s newest handheld from $249.99 to $169.99. The new price will take effect on August 12 in retailers Across America. According to President of Nintendo of America Reggie Films-Aim, the $80.00 price reduction is being marketed as an excellent reason to pick one up this holiday. “For anyone who was on the fence about buying a Nintendo 3DS, this is a huge motivation to buy now, we are giving shoppers every incentive to pick up a Nintendo 3DS, from an amazing new price, to a rapid-fire succession of great games.” Rapid-fire succession huh? Sadly to say, the Nintendo 3DS has been plagued by moderate success in the United States. Hopefully this new price point is what the system needs to get flying off the shelves.
Regardless, if you were interested in picking up a 3DS, $169.99 does help sweeten the deal between your wallet and a fancy new piece of tech. However, now you have a good reason to hold out a little longer. I mean seriously, you’ve waited this long, another three weeks won’t kill you…right?
I like 3D and i give Mario and crew props for bringing the tech w/o glasses. But have you seen the GAMES!...they all suck and some are MORE REMAKES! Even with a low price point if the games blow ppl wont put out. And now the Vita is due out in the holidays their library of games is 100% better than what nintendo offered. My thoughts are not that great for the new nintendo Ipad as well (WII-U)The corporate big wigs up at Nitendo need to commint seppiku or bukaki in order to save the company from becoming Sega in the next 5 years.
