Report: 3DS components cost about $100
Mar 25th 2011 9:12PM (Joystiq)Wow I got downvoted a lot.. I guess a lot of you like to pay more. Keep in mind that not only do I want one but so do my 3 children.. that's $1000!!
Retailers typically get between $5-$20 on handheld hardware.. so close to launch my guess would be on the lower end of that scale. Maybe $10 profit for each 3DS sold.. that's why retailers rely so heavily on the add-ons... pick up your games and accessories today!
I don't want to rag on the 3DS cuz I quite like it but the truth is that behind the slightly better graphics the games are still pretty much on par with N64, the bottom screen is ass and even the nice wide top screen is too little too late. It only passes because of it's black magic 3D but it's 2D capability is greatly underwhelming. Colours, resolution.. not all that spiffy. The 3D camera is also a straight up gimmick that I was excited for but turns out the low res and lousy quality makes the 3D images absolutely boring. I only bring these things up because when you go top-tier pricing you expect top of the line.. instead we're getting the Wii all over again without the consideration in price.
Face it.. would you have paid as much for a Wii at launch as the 360 or PS3 just for it`s ìnnovative` controls

Mar 14th 2011 9:44PM (Joystiq)Well to be fair it was a really really stupid question that with half an ounce of effort would have answered itself for you. Some people just don't have the patience for incredibly stupid people..it's unfortunate but I can understand where he's coming from.
