It seems that Nintendo has officially given up on hoping for success at the $250 price point for the 3DS. This morning it was announced that on August 12th Nintendo would drop the price tag of the 3DS by $80, setting it at the starting price of the original DSi at $170. For those early adopters that tolerated the steep price, Nintendo will offer 20 free NES and GBA games as a means of compensation. If you've been following the 3DS, you'll know that it hasn't exactly proven to be as much of a success as Nintendo had initially hoped that it would. This steep of a price drop only six months after the release of the system shows a little desperation on Nintendo's part to increase sales. This will no doubt help, it certainly makes me a little more optimistic on finally picking up a 3DS for myself. What are your thoughts?
