Those who hated Nintendo are the kids who were born year 2000 and above. Sorry to say.. I am 1989 and I grew up with it and I really love refreshing my memories of those games by playing Nintendo based games.
The 3DS really is really $170 but they made it $250 in the first place because they know there are no games gonna be released yet.. And then they do the "Sale & sell a lot" thing and now they're on the roll.
These companies are just providing choices for the people. They are not forcing people to buy their products so if you do not like the product, just shut up and stop complaining for anything. If you want GBA slots, then go buy a GBA micro. If you don't want the camera then buy your $1000 camera. If you don't like the music player then go buy a $399 iPod Touch.
I understand nintendo, there are also people that cannot afford to buy camera, music player and a gaming handheld separately. Thats why they made this. And also its more portable compared to 3 or 4 gadgets you're holding on. Even though the quality is not that good, what matters is the portability.
