Nintendo 3DS Available in U.S.-Will $40 Game Prices Be Its Limiting Factor?

The $250 Nintendo 3DS is available in the U.S. now. It brings glasses 3D viewing for game play, photos, and vido, motion sensor, gyroscope, and the ability to record 3D photos with its dual rear-facing cameras. Its base price is comparable to Apple’s iPod touch which starts at $229 for the 8GB model. The 3DS’ ability to provide 3D gameplay may or may not be a plus. It really depends on whether or not any of the 3D games avaiable at launch can capture the attention of its target market the way Nintendogs or Brain Age did for earlier DS models.
