Looking back at Nintendo's history of North America in the past, we will find that every generation's starting prices are rising, in addition to the increase in consumption level, the cost of technological progress is also reflected in the rise.

But we also have to note that the predecessor of 3DS VB Mainframe, 1995 when the IPO price is as high as 180 U.S. dollars, so from this angle to see the price of 3DS or more reasonable, 3D image effect of the implementation of the function significantly increased the cost of the host.　　The price of the DSi XL,3DS, which was listed last year, is just 60 dollars higher. Looking at the first history of all manufacturers ' palm machines in North America, Nintendo's 3DS and 2005 PSP debut were priced flat, after Nokia launched its game phone gage in 2003.　　But if you convert to today's price level, the PSP's starting price will be as high as 280 dollars, from this point of view, you will feel that 3DS value for money. But in any case, the 250-dollar pricing has put the price level of the next generation of handheld platforms into the home mainframe standard. Apple's ipod Touch4 also reached this price level. So it can be expected that Sony's PSP2 starting price will be worse.
