The 3DS would have done better if they wouldn't have sold it for $250 and if they had at least one system seller at launch. Another huge factor is that they should have marketed it better, they went with the name 3DS for brand recognition, but it kind of back-fired since they didn't emphasize that it was a new system all together enough. Now a lot of people just think it's a new DS with a 3D effect. They honestly should have just came up with something new and not focused so much on the 3D effect. Despite how cool the 3D effect actually is, people are losing interest in 3D all together and aren't going to buy a system whose main selling point is the 3D graphics. I love Nintendo but they kind of messed up, hopefully the price cut will fix the problem soon.. I love the 3DS so far and I really do want it to be successful.

I've heard complaints that DS games on the 3DS are lower quality than on the DSi, but I only ever had the phat DS and going from that to the 3DS was a HUGE improvement. So, yeah I'd recommend picking it up and then getting the good 3DS games as well as some amazing DS games you missed out on.

It'd work for some games.. but games like The World Ends With You or Zelda Spirit Tracks just wouldn't.

No casual market=no video game market=no "hard core" market. Never understood why people don't understand this and why they cry about too many casual games... just ignore them and play the games you like. Problem solved.

I'll never understand the people who denounce 3D without trying it. It's an awesome effect and unless you're one of the unlucky people who gets headaches or eye strains when playing it, I don't understand why people want to hate it. I never really 3D would add that much or be very cool but then I actually tried the system and realized that while it might not have a huge effect on gameplay, the effect works well and looks pretty cool.

All of them. Unless Kid Icarus flops and even then I may still pick it up.

Absolutely and Nintendo is finally realizing it, this is why that after 4 months of little advertising and concentrating on 3D (which might actually been a negative thing for the 3DS considering 3D movies are losing popularity) they're finally realeasing commercials like this

You're actually getting over $80 worth of games, 10 NES and 10 GBA. $5 apiece on Wii VC for the NES games and lets say GBA is the equivalent of SNES which are $8 apiece. I spent $250 for the 3DS, $0.96 for OOT, and $25 for StreetFighter4 (Amazon credit from online surveys and promos) and I feel completely satisfied in my purchases. Now I get $130ish worth of games for free. They didnt have to give anybody anything. No problems from this guy, Thank you Nintendo.

Well I got mine for around $200 so it's not that big of a loss but still I'm surprised Nintendo is doing such a large price drop only months after the release. They must be terrified, that or they were planning it all along.

Still, I'm not going to complain about getting some free games
