Nintendo may not be ready to disclose pricing information for their upcoming 3DS handheld system, but that hasn’t stopped analyst Michael Pachter from giving his predictions on pricing in the US.
Pachter has stated that the Nintendo 3DS is likely to be sold for $249 in the US. Considering that the DSi currently sells for $169.99 on Amazon, that is a considerable price hike don’t you think?
If Pachter’s predictions are correct, that means for $50 less, you’ll be able to buy a new 4GB Xbox 360 console! And for $50 more, you can buy a 120GB PS3 Slim console for $299. Pachter has been right in the past with his predictions, but surely this one is way off the mark.
Here’s a quote from the man himself:
Personally, I too was impressed with Nintendo’s 3DS coverage at E3 2010, but would you be willing to pay $250 for one? I don’t think I could justify that, especially with an Xbox 360 available for just $199.
Let us know your thoughts on this one.

Well the way it looks, and what they made it out as at E3 2010, I could see it being sold for 300+
Just because its a handheld system, doesnt mean it should be sold for 150 or less.

but what other than play games can you do on the DSi? :jim:
is there email, movies, phone, texting.
for the same price i could get a 2 year contract with verizon, a droid X with email, movies, wifi hotspot etc.
