Interesting. I thought they were still selling for a profit :shock:
Things just got a lot more interesting.
Hmm, I'm surprised by this. Maybe iSuppli's estimates were off after all.LINK.

i3DS
The last time they sold at a loss was with the Gamecube. [link]
If you mean the death of handheld systems to smartphone and tablets then yeah... it has begun ),=It has begun!
Can we all agree it has begun?

Have you ever played a 3DS may I ask?Yup. Played it for 10 minutes at gamestop, then for 30 minutes in my neighbors house. The first time I almost went blind. The second time I didn't go blind, but fell to sleep.[QUOTE="RR360DD"] Having to steeply slash the price and the Vita hasnt even launched yet :lol:Morrdecai
I would be surprised. What happened to the report that it costs like $100 to make?SaltyMeatballsWas the report from n4g? if so then theres is your answer :P

Perhaps its only for the Japanese market maybe. I seem to remember a report saying 3DS cost £80 or something to make here.

The DS was the N64 equivalent.
Also for the time the N64 wasn't weak at all it was the most powerful system on the market when it launched.

I would say it's better than Gamecube hardware, really. I doubt the GC's Flipper could do all the things PICA200 can do, including running the MT Framework. The Gamecube didn't have 128MB of RAM, 2GB of flash memory, accelerometers, gyroscopes, touchscreens and cameras either.[QUOTE="i3DS"]Never. Really? O= I guess the take over is happening sooner than I had imagined. ):LINK.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]I would be surprised. What happened to the report that it costs like $100 to make?i3DSYou're ignoring years of R&D, marketing, etc. I have to admit you sig is pretty awesome and the old markings of the sony sig makes it even better :P
[QUOTE="bbkkristian"]I looked through the article, can someone point out where it said Nintendo was selling the 3DS at a loss?forgot_itIt wasn't, but it will be. when the price cut goes into full effect they will be selling at a loss, right now their not as the 3ds is stil 250 at retailers but when they all change that sign they will be.

Somebody is clearly a Sony Fanboy. The PSV will have its weakness too, it looks amazing but it will have flaws too.
