Nintendo slashes 3DS price amid worrying financials...UPDATE


Update: Reports are coming in that the European prices for the 3DS are 169 Euros and £130-£170 for the UK. Which doesnt help too much!


Nintendo have downgraded its earning forcasts for the current half year and full year terms. Its lowered shipment forcasts for Wii and DS but kept 3DS at the same, but also increased software targets.

The 3DS itself recieves a hefty price reduction... below are the worldwide prices we know so far....

¥25,000 to ¥15,000 (Euro 224 to 134 = 90 Euro drop / £196 to £118 = £78 drop)
$249.99 to $169.99 (Euro 174 to 118 = 56 Euro drop / £152 to £104 = £48 drop)
AU$349.95 to AU$249.95 (Euro 268 to 191 = 77 Euro drop / £235 to £168 = £67 drop)

The averages work out as 74 Euro drop / £64 drop which means 147 Euro / £165



European prices are currently unknown but I've used a currency converter and put Euro and UK prices in brackets.
