Don't like the 3DS price? Well it's your damn fault!

[EpicJungle]

I'll buy it if it's $10

nah watch, they're gonna make it $200.

 

[TM2-Megatron]

It'll be more than that. I'd say $240-250 USD. The first price drop will probably come within the year; maybe in time for the 2011 Christmas season, to make up for their being incredibly lame and missing this year's.

I personally don't care about the price. People who can't afford it will complain, but we are talking about new hardware here. Sorry if it's 100 dollars more then the release price of the DS, but if you can't afford it and mommy and daddy won't buy it for you, get a paper route and start saving now

If 3DS were to hit US with $249.99, and assuming this is for California. Which has a sales tax of 9.75%,

$249.99 + $24.37 = $274.36

JESUS OF NAZARETH. 9.75%... Happy I don't live in Cali. That's some outrageous taxing right there. I'd never buy any game systems or computer if I lived there.

There's a reason sales tax is high - they vote to pay for things that they can't afford - there's a reason the state is bankrupt.

Sucks balls that my state has such high taxes..

I suppose that is true.

 

[TM2-Megatron]

Damn, you think that's high? My province has a 13% sales tax. Of course we actually have health care up here, but it still takes a bite out of your wallet, that's for sure.

 

[Justin121994]

O.O. Welllllll this sucksss and most likely the taxes won't go down;I also doubt we will get out of bankruptcy anytime soon.

Do you people know how much money Nintendo lost b'cause of little cards?? (R4 ttds etc)...

Well i don't know, but i'm sure that it was a lot!!!! Yeah it's our fault..

 

[monkat]

Did you guys think that Ninty wouldn't take consumer reaction to a product into consideration before setting a price?

...Do you all live in a vacuum?

 

[deka01]

its blizzard activition nintendo now is it? i never heard of a merger fucking kotick getting to nintendo

It's a bit old

Of course that figure is bullshit, as even the article implies. Most pirates would never actually pay for 100% of the games they pirate... in fact they'd probably only end up buying a relative few; their favourites.

How much have they lost this year and last? They said they were estimating a lower profit from the 3DS than they had orignally expected (although I'm sure it's still in the billions

)

 

[Kutxiii]

Put yourself in their position... Imagine you run nintendo...

i'm not against piracy

but they can do what they want, since they created the Ds....

 

[Lollyback]

Um, iPhone 4 starts at $399. It's not 3D. It doesn't even have buttons.

It has few decent games (no epic games as Nintendo's), no aumented reality, no glasses free 3D, no tag mode and streetpass mode, no buttons, no 2 3D cameras... The only thing I don't like about 3DS is the 3MP cameras.. They could make them 4, or 5 MP..

Pretty sure it has augmented reality, it has bump. does have buttons, and does have two cameras...

 

[TM2-Megatron]

Of course; they can set whatever price pleases them. But unless it also pleases fans, sales won't be as high as they could've been. It'll still sell like hotcakes, of course.... but now instead of annoying fans with constant shortages (which they do claim to have been worried about, which was one of the things that prompted them to delay the launch to February/March), they'll piss customers off with a price that's too high.

A price that apparently is higher than necessary in order to actually make a profit, if the OP is to be believed. What irks me isn't that it costs more (that I can understand), but the fact it's possibly been priced higher than necessary simply because Nintendo is under the impression they can get away with it.

Blame Activision's price bump schemes for justifying that line of thought, and showing they CAN get away with it.

 

[Kutxiii]

I'm not gonna buy it yet... Just gonna wait till have lower price!!

But their are not stupid

Envy, one of the 7 deadly sins !!! It's part of human being
