This calculator gives the original Game Boy's price as $156.21 when adjusted for inflation, by the way.

80% of GameFAQs thinks Nintendo is going to die or going Sega because of the low 3DS sales and price cut. Why are people so obsessed with Nintendo's extinction since the N64 days?

Yep nintendo don't need mad success to survive, they could entirely live on a cheap console with only first party release. They were also like 200% ahead in profit comparing to other company they are not falling, their back at a normal pace and size after a winning run.

Also I heard the 3DS happen at that price when Hiroshi leave definitely the board of advisor at nintendo. Hiroshi really helpt push the wii low price and low hardware. That's what I heard >> rumor.

And $100 in 1989 would cost $173.56 in 2010 ... so the new 3DS price is right under the "100 1989 bucks" threshold.

The internet is really stupid and really loves wildly exaggerate any situation. It also has to take anything and everything out of context.

The people at GameFAQs need to get a clue, it's like worse than youtube comments.

HAY GUYS- THE 3dS and nintando is DEADSORSs...History says so! derp derp derp!

Yeah, reading the comments there really makes me feel like sticking a pretty gun in my mouth.

Whatever. This is just the usual retarded internet "console war" bullshit. And why are you guys even brining up GameFAQs? It's a well known fact that not a single person on that site has anything intelligent to say.

None of those are released yet, right?  I think Trevor was talking about already released games.

If the Phoenix Wright / Layton game hits stateside that'll make the 3DS an instabuy for me.

I wonder how Kid Icarus will fare. That could reengage sales.

The 3DS analog stick is on the left only. If it uses analog and the touch pad, it could be difficult to play.

The way the original DS mirrors the control pad and face buttons was one of the less appreciated good design decisions of that console.

I'd much prefer a 2nd analog stick than a 2nd screen. PSV doing it right.

Indeed I was, there is no reason to ever turn on my 3DS again until Kario Mart 7 comes out.

I could get Star Fox on September 9th, but I wanted a new game, not an N64 port. Not even multiplayer saves it. There is no online and no one locally is going to want to play more than 5 or 6 rounds...ever. Here is Nintendo failing with online multiplayer for the umptenth time.

Hell, I probably would have bought an updated tatsunoko vs capcom on the 3DS, all they have to do is add like 6-7 characters and have decent online play. There are certainly more characters I care about in that game than the terrible roster of vanilla MVC 3. Then again, I don't think they going to want to make an update or sequel to that game...ever considering the licensing hell they had to go through to get the game in the states.

Yep. And from the demos I've seen, the touch pad is used for aiming. I've already tried holding my 3DS like that to see how it'd work for me... It pretty much won't without a lot of getting used to.  Waaagh!
