Well that's one way to jump start sluggish sales.
Nintendo has just announced that the price on the 3DS will drop to $169.99 stateside on August 12. That's down from $250 currently, which we don't have to tell you is a pretty shocking drop, considering the tech involved and how recently the system was released.
A similar cut in Japan (effective August 11) will take the system from 25,000 Yen (around $317) to 15,000 Yen ($190). We don't yet have a specific price for a corresponding European cut, but Nintendo tells Eurogamer the price will drop by "about a third."http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)3DS price drops to $170 on August 12 (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/28/3ds-price-drops-to-170-on-august-12/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Thu, 28 Jul 2011 04:40:00 EST.
