3ds-redAccording to Wedbush Morgan's resident gaming guru Michael Pachter's prediction, Nintendo will likely sell the 3DS for US$ 250 in the US at launch, with it's software getting higher prices than its predecessors.

“We view the 3DS as a revolutionary device, and expect its launch to spur hardware and software sales. Due to the unique 3DS experience previewed by Nintendo at E3 this year, we believe Nintendo will be able to sell millions of units even at a price of upwards of $250.

“From a software perspective, we believe Nintendo will be able to increase DS software prices, from a blended average of around $25 today to over $29 next year."

Nintendo is expected to release the hotly anticipated device sometime in March of next year.

200$ or lower or i am not getting it, I'll just wait for Psp2 and pay more for a better system. Then get the 3DS once the price goes down.

Since nintendo always charges as much as they possibly can while still selling millions, those greedy bastards will probably charge $250 for the 3DS.

Yep, that's a full $100 more than the original DS at launch in late 2004.

The original DS was around $300 at launch where I live so I don't know what you guys are talking about. iPods, PSP, any portable thing is around $250 or more these days.
