Nintendo announced today that the Nintendo 3ds award, currently at $249.99 to $169.99 starting on 12 August will be reduced. That is almost a whole third off start pricing, the unprecedented this at an early stage in any system life cycle.

Slow sales, a total lack of interest and pressure from third-party partners were probably behind Nintendo's sudden change in value price estimates. However, says Nintendo was "create momentum for Nintendo 3ds and accelerate season, when the lineup for the applicable software is enriched penetration towards the end of the year".

I can't say that I do not see this coming. Not the hit the Nintendo had anticipated was the 3ds. And priced at $249.99 with the PlayStation-Vita, flushed the value of the 3ds down the toilet available.

Is the new $169.99 price point low enough to bite you? Or wait some games that are not only Nintendo 64 ports?

And for you and I, "early adopters" how to do it you feel to know that you just bought one for $250, as if you only waited you, which could have saved $80?

Sound off in the comments below. I expect many a babbling about this.
