@zeromous, The answer doesn't indicate that the writer are aware of the Japan price of 3DS, which is roughly USD 300.
As an early adopter of DS (fat) and DSL, I am taking a wait and see attitude if the 3DS are really launched at USD 300 price point. At USD 250, there is 50:50 chance I buy it at launch At USD 200, I definitely will buy it at launch.

I bought my first DS at $199. People will pay 250 for 3D. I think 250$ will be nintendo's pricepoint in Americas.
I'm willing to bet people will pay 300$ for 3DS since 3D cameras retail for a bit more than this right now.
