price drop
Yesterday Nintendo announced that it would be reducing the price of the 3DS, only four months after launch. What does this mean for Nintendo and its struggling handheld. Is it a sign of weakness, a sign of competition from PS Vita and smartphones, or simply a sign of the times?
We were expecting Nintendo to (perhaps) slash the price of its current console next month. But we may see a cheaper Wii in North America as soon as Monday, if reports from US retailer Target are accurate.
Starting September 12, Nintendo will be dropping the price of the DSi to $US150 and the price of the DSi XL to $US170. The DS Lite will remain at $US130.
