potatoman Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 ^^ you may be right.......but sony still has to compete with nintendo so price might be a little less but no matter how much it is priced... it will still remain out of my reach for at least a year after release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I think Sony is waiting for Nintendo to confirm the prices before they announce it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avkash Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 and it seems like IGN has had a chat with some analysts who feel it may well be like 250 and 300 in that case 3DS well actually f**k 3DS .... .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avkash Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 For the love of god bitches, IT CANT BE MORE THEN THE PRICE OF ps3 well knowing Sony, it can be anything but the base version (wifi only) will be like 250 to 300, like I said earlier if Sony go for the kill and price it at 250 - I see NO ONE buying a 3DS except fanboys how much would I love to have it at $250 PS: I see no point in buying a 3G version in India, so i avoided that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Wright Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah, let's predict doom and gloom for Nintendo again. Until the 3DS turns around and kicks you in the face, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixeljunkie Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 well knowing Sony, it can be anything but the base version (wifi only) will be like 250 to 300, like I said earlier if Sony go for the kill and price it at 250 - I see NO ONE buying a 3DS except fanboys how much would I love to have it at $250 PS: I see no point in buying a 3G version in India, so i avoided that price I don't really think Sony will really price it at 249$. Since we are the customers, our greatest concern is if Sony overprices the NGP. But Sony looks at it from more than one angle. They have set a price range that hits the sweet spot and also ensure that they don't OVERPRICE or UNDERVALUE the NGP. If they do price the NGP at around the 250$ mark then Sony risks undervaluing an already impressive product. Their internal analysts will analyse the situation something like this: 1) The difference in profits between the 250$ and the 300$ mark would be negligible over the lifespan of the product and so Sony risks NOT capitalising on margin profits(which will make a big difference in the long run). A price tag of 250$ will hurt Nintendo hard. But again Sony risks undermining the NGP's rich product value. Plus there's no way to recover on this loss because the pricing scheme always follows the top-to-bottom approach. 2) I seriously doubt the total BOM(Bill Of Materials) costs for the NGP would be below the 250$ mark, excluding overheads. I can vouch for this because the 3DS itself retails for 250$ which includes BOM + Extra Overheads. Taking this into account i don't think its even possible for Sony to dream about setting a launch price in the 250$ range at launch. 3) The DS launched at 149$ and the 3DS launched at 249$. Nobody questioned Nintendo about the 100$ difference when they could've simply launched the 3DS at the 200$ mark let alone at the same launch price of the DS. Sony will also follow suit and price the NGP using the same price scaling. 4) The PS3 is priced at 299$. Sony would not want to indirectly their own PS3 sales by launching the NGP at 250$. Instead, i bet Sony will announce a 50$ price cut for the PS3 a few months before or at the launch of the NGP. 5) If Sony does decide to launch the NGP at 299$, then rest assured that Nintendo will announce a heafty price drop for the 3DS a few months before the NGP launches.
