[3DS] Nintendo hacking and slashing the price of the 3DS

The 3DS isn't selling very well? PlayStation Vita is likely to be dropping at the end of the year? Well, Nintendo have already begun their counter-attack by announcing a price cut for the 3D handheld.

Starting from the 12th of August the 3DS will be selling for a whole lot cheaper than it currently is. The US price is being slashed from $249 USD down to $169 USD, in Australia it will drop from $349 AUD down to $249 AUD, and in Japan it will drop from 25,000 yen down to 11,000 yen. Europe will also be getting a price cut, but no official figures have been confirmed (reps are saying the price will drop by roughly a third).

The question still remains as to whether this will make much of a difference in the long run with very little software to use on the device before the year's end. At the very least it should definitely see a few more units shift from retailers into homes.

Holy f***ing s***. Can't say I was expecting that. I thought that if they ever did cut the price it would have been to $225 or at most $200.
