Iwata 50% pay cut

Also probably because Nintendo posted a quarterly loss this quarter for the first time in about forever.
 
Does anyone in the United Kingdom know whether GAME will be refunding the difference when the price cuts happen or not?

They wouldn't. Stores can't really do that, just because you bought a product before a sale/cut isn't really their problem.
 
Seriously? lul fail
a gaming world without nintendo = a gaming world i don't want to live in.
even if i don't play nintendo consoles much anymore, they are the last real gaming company, with a console of their own, at least.

microcock is all about Live, aside from a few games i can't be arsed to look into, playsation is a blu ray player that happens to play games, nintendo's the only one still kicking without more than an hackjob mp3 player in their system. that alone makes me sad. :(
 
Why did the 3DS sell so bad? Because all of the games that were released suck.
No, this isn't the reason. The current library may not be amazing, but it's far from the reason why the 3DS hasn't caught on yet. The biggest obstacle was the price. There are many people out there who are interested in getting a 3DS, but $250 was just too expensive for them. Trust me, I experience it all the time at work. I'll show someone my 3DS, they'll be very impressed by it and want to buy it, and then I tell them that it's $250 and they're like "lol, no".

This price cut is going to make the 3DS fly off shelves. I'm very excited. Animal Crossing 3DS is going to be booming because of it, too, no doubt.

Nintendo is far from dead. Yeah, they're taking a big loss, but Microsoft and Sony have both taken huge losses like this in the past, too, yet they're still kicking. They'll probably be able to recover their losses fairly quickly, especially if Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and Kid Icarus: Uprising sell extremely well this holiday season.

it ain't ogre till it's ogre
 
i think it was just too expensive. not a lot of people want to pay 249$ for a 3DS........

Fix'd.

But that's another problem. Nintendo needs to do a better job at getting the point across the the 3DS isn't just another DS, it's an all new system with all new games and all new features.

but really.. that is what it is. it has 3d, some better internet features, updates to the firmware that will be rolled out, and.. new games. which every console has, obv.

No, it's more than just another DS. The DS Lite was just another DS. The DSi was just another DS, and the DSi XL. The 3DS is a brand new system. I know you and I and all of us here all know that, and I'm not trying to say that the 3DS isn't a "DS" in any sense, because it obviously is a continuation of the DS family. But a lot of people think that it's just a new DS with 3D. They're not aware that it's a completely new system with completely new games. And that's a problem.

the dsi had dsi-specific games, too.. they were few and far between, but they existed. same thing?
