Nintendo 3DS, Price cut 10000 YEN at once, Nintendo incorrect nature, what is the impact to PS Vita?
"Nintendo 3DS" sounds like a significant price cuts.
The price will be changed from 25000 YEN to 15000YEN, which is 10000 YEN cheaper than the launching price. New price effective from 11 August. It is a significant price cut sice it had released for six months.
10000 YEN cheaper!?
Whats going on for this significant price cut?
The Nintendo 3DS I bought on release date have not turned on for more than 10 minutes, I have it on my hand....
Please play it even for a little bit time....
The impact for this price cut is significant.
There is a lot to say, lets start from how to follow those who have already bought 3DS.
It seems to compensate by download content. You can download many free software. The person who bought it at a higher price can access the Internet for Nintendo 3DS, until August 10 they are allowed to access "Nintendo e-shop"
So how about those who can access to the internet.
Such problem happens too...
You can access in advanced in order to enjoy some free Nintendo titles from 1 September. In addition, this year it plans to deliver some Game Boy Advance titles. Distribution of this Game Boy Advance is subject to those who have accessed by 10 August.
I bought 3DS not because I am Nintendo fans......
Again, such problem happens.
Recently, "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina 3D" and "Star Fox 64 3D" People who bought 3DS for these titles would think more in particular. It's cheaper by 10,000 yen in a single month. In addition, same for those we bought for new color "Nintendo 3DS red flare"
Criticism from those is unavoidable.
Counting for these problem, what should we comment on this price cut?
It is very GREAT.
Oh no!? You praise it??
Past is past. The future is the future. I want to evaluate actions to be taken in the future. Moreover, price cut price is not 20000 YEN or 19800 YEN but cut down to 15000 YEN in once. Also good pricing momentum.
It is really chaep.
Well, it is said that the cost for 3DS is not expensive at all, even cut price in this degree will not result in deficit.
But then why Nintendo did not do this at the beginning?
It is because Nintendo nature is incorrect.
Nature...
Nintendo always said do not dabble in other areas, because of that, Nintendo has a history being a game manufacturer only. However, rather than just having this wide thinking, they should have captured the underlying nature and take action.
What is that nature?/td>
While the popularity of the console increased, number of software provided to that console would also increased. As a result Nintendo game console would be flourish. However, Nintendo 3DS is not matching this nature.
It is the pricing of 25000 YEN right?
To pursue their own interests, the pricing is just buyable price. However it is a unwise action result from just thinking their own interest. To increase popularity of 3DS platform, the expensive pricing should be the first issue to eliminate. The sales of Software would not be good in low popularity. That would be fine for their own company sofeware, but it is a frivolous action towards third party software maker.
Software maker's profit could only made by selling software, that should be good for them if cheap 3DS ccould increase its popularity.
Even Nintendo said they will provide possible support to 3DS sofeware maker but the pricing action prove that they do not match the nature.
Would the price cut this time bring them back to the nature?
At least in terms of price is right. However, the software maker has been betrayed thought has been discontinued development of software for Nintendo 3DS gradually. As we have introduced earlier, "Rockman DASH3" is a good example. Nintendo 3DS stop the flow of software development by software companies began to move surreptitiously, this announcement can stop the development termination or not is unknown. Or rather impossible.
What....
This effect comes out around two years or one year. When this area becomes lack of software , they evolved into things like the recent lack of Wii software. So, they would have had sold at the price point aat about 19 800 YEN from the day of sale. Well, we can't help it by speaking from the result. 3DS was changed to 15,000 yen, but whether or not directly related to the popularity of the platform, whether the software could release consistanly or not is another persistent problem.They wanted this excitement to be continue till the end of year, if the sales of 3DS console is not good during this time, Meanwhile, software makers have discontinued further development, development are going to postpone. This is very impotant point to follow.
But this significant price cut would also affect PS Vita, right?
I can't predict PS Vita is a good selling console or not....
What....
It may be sold in Japan as the successor to the PSP, the sales might be good. But the sales of PSP is not that good in oversea market. PS Vita will need to increase its popularity while facing other problem. Of course, the price cut of 3DS this time not also create a price differences, also will have other huge problems coming.
PS Vita is similiar to iPod or smartphone rather than 3DS, which have to worry about them too.
Well, 3DS price cut this time, Nintendo in the future, what will the time industry become, we would like to check it firmly.

It is not feeling good....
Capcom has announced the termination on Rockman DASH3(3DS) development project.
What kind of decision?
There was the following announcement.

This time, Rockman DASH3 development termination announced.

In this title, we aim to share the delopment process with our users at the beginning of the project.

Also, in the process, and comments received from you is as important information we have taken.

However, at the recent stage, we found that many terms not yet met for actual development for this title.

Start from the participation in the DASH development office, we deeply apologize to those who support us. We could not meet your expectation, very sorry.(From Official site of Rockman DASH3)
In other words, what does that mean?
This is the decision based on low popularity of 3DS.
What....
Well, Nitendo 3DS itself have problems for sure, as we have mentioned earlier, the resignation of Keiji Inafune affected this alot.
Regarding the resignation of Mr Keiji Inafune, COVERED BY 30-Oct-2010 Keiji Inafune, General Manager of Capcom developers resigned, the affection on Capcom title release schedule etc.. Below had stated.

There will be possibility on termination on project which has been led by Keiji Inafune. (From Keiji Inafune, General Manager of Capcom developers resigned, the affection on Capcom title release schedule etc..)
Rockman DASH3 was one of the title led by Inafune. In addition, the development of Rockman Universe had also terminated.
Termination on development announced on 31-Mar-2011.
The timing is different so I think this time is largely affected by the low popularity of 3DS. Well, we could expect this result from his resignation. It is sad for Rockman fans, but no way....
I concert the Rockman series itself in the future, I want to play it again insome way new.
