Money Conversion: 26,250.00JPY = $323.295AU
31,500.00 JPY = $387.918 AU
So i doubt we’ll see it for that price here… try double.
Unless the price is much cheaper in other regions (quite possible), or the tech specs are much better than rumoured, its a complete rip off.
If this was 2006 I’d agree, but Nintendo would be aware that kind of price gouging isn’t going to work here – if they’re launching so close to Xmas – they need to come out with a price that makes you want to drop everything and buy it – my guess is $350.00 – $400.00
I’m sorry but many times they have said that a massive mistake they have made too many times have been launching too expensive. In my opinion the price wont be over $400 even if they lose money I would think they will do what PS3 does and hope people buy games.
