    Probably means the 3DS will be close to $200.

      I would guess that the 3DS will likely take the XL’s $189 price point.

    Don’t forget about the DS Incredible,DS X, DS 2…oh wait.

      Eh, not really… I’m gay but don’t think it looks “cool.” Actually, I’m shocked Nintendo is still around! I remember the NES and Gameboy from way back in the day. Ahh.. Memories. But I digress, this gay person doesn’t think it looks cool, sorry.

    I really could care less, unless the 3DS is actually great. we have smartphones with PSX emulation now!

    Sadly enough, I guess I never thought I see the day when smart-phones become preferred for gaming over these portable gaming devices.

    But being able to play others while sitting in line waiting to be waited on to take care of some business could be a possible cause of this. I guess they’ll still fill the void of kids that aren’t old enough for cell phones or at least smart-phones.
