Why does this still cost 175$? The Vita which is more powerful console cost 150 dollars. The old 3ds xl should at least be going for 90$-100$ dollars now.
>>335817719
Because Nintendo are Jews and the 3ds didn't even sell half of what Nintendo expected it to sell in its lifetime.
>>335818129
this to be honest family
because the Vita is dead to Sony.Vita memory cards cost a ton too so they get more money that way
>>335818972
How did Sony think this was a good idea?
Because, like any company, Nintendo is interested in making the most profit possible, and this is the profit maximizing price they've settled on.
>>335819103
They do this all the time, and always have. They use memory to subsidize the cost of the unit itself.

One has games (value), the other one doesn't.
>>335817719
I am OP here again. There are console out there like Nvidia portable which plays PS3 games. The price goes for 150 dollars. Not only that but the screen is much bigger.
New 3ds Xl and old 3ds xl shouldn't even be priced 200 dollars and 175$ retrospectively. It should really be 80 dollars at this point.
>>335817719
bump
They cost more because the 3DS is vastly more popular than the Vita. Neither of them are bad, but 3DS has more accessible stuff than the 90% hyperweeb content of the Vita. Also general jewery
>>335819103
Something tells me you never experienced the PS1 and PS2 memory prices, because your prices are A STEAL
>>335817719
In Europe, you can get them for around 100-110€ on sale. Maybe you should look for better deals.
>>335821079
AHHA. Dude the original nvidia portable goes for WELL over 500 dollars these days.
The Vita is 199.99 with no memory card or memelands +8GB. Stores are running sales to try and get rid of their stock that's been sitting there since 2014.

I miscalculated the price. The price is 199.99 However my point still stands.
>>335822945
The difference is there are no third party alternatives for Vita memory cards like there were for PS1 / PS2.
I got a new New 3DSXL for 100 thanks to Kmarts clearance and Bestbuys pricematch
Should have been paying attention.
>>335817719
Supply and demand. The Vita is cheap as fuck because it's dead. No one wants it. The 3DS is expensive because it's still selling.
Is a New 3ds still worth it?
>>335824808
I upgraded from an original 3ds to the new 3ds and I'd say it is, but if you already have an xl or you don't care about xenoblade chronicles probably not.
>>335825390
i dont have a ds of any kind
>>335824808
If you like Monster Hunter then yes. Better graphics and framerate for it and some other games, and the nub is useful.
>>335817719
The 3DS is still selling amazing due to it's great games library so this is why the price isn't going down.
Why should you expect them to lower the price either way? the more Nintendo makes more money, the better for us in the long run.
>>335825991
There's other hardware which is extremely better that goes for a cheaper price.
It's not all about production cost. And also
>he didn't get the AC n3DS bundle from Walmart at 180$
>>335824808
At the rate things are going with Nintendo just buy a smartphone honestly
Because the games are free now
>>335818129
To be fair PS4 and the XBOX didn't come close to selling what Xbox 360 and PS3 did.
>>335817719
supply
and
demand
>>335817719
Is that it? All people can justify is that the 3ds xl is doing better therefore they can keep their price? Nvidia shield is garrulously superior than old 3ds xl and new 3ds xl. The only impressive quality is that the the 3ds hardware has the same polygon count around Gamecube/PS2 era or around there. The 3ds has shaders which makes the games look aethetically pleasing.
Nvidia portable is pretty much the a portable PS3. Can anybody imagine how a previous generation hardware should be kept the same price as next generation hardware? That's what people here are pretty much doing. The 3ds xl and new 3ds is overpriced for what's it worth.
>>335819103
lol
>>335827960
The PS4 is the fastest selling console of all time and the xbone is outselling the 360. This is because people buying nintendo products have switched and dropped nintendo completely.
Why is OoT 3D still 40 euros? Shit's been one of the first games
>>335821079
>it plays
it plays nothing.
Its a shit tablet that your PC streams its screen to.
