Nintendo 3DS is arriving soon, and this means price cut on the present models. Yes, Nintendo has just revealed that the DSi will soon become $149 from $169 and the DSi XL dropping $20 as well to $169, starting this September 12.
Nintendo is expecting the price cut will result in sale hike of the DSi models as retailers can scream price drop and grasp up some pre-holiday sales.
More importantly, though, the $20 price drop clears the $199 price-point previously held by the DSi XL with its $189 MSRP. Now, Nintendo can put the 3DS at $199 to complete set with the DS Lite starting off the party at $129 and the DSi hitting at $149.
That’s about as good as any maker can ask for. The two older models no doubt have heavy manufacturing profit levels as they’ve in production for so long, therefore allowing Nintendo to sell the new 3DS with smaller, if any, margins.
So are you grabbing the old model at a slashed price or will wait for the 3DS launch?
