Nintendo of Europe defends 3DS price decision

Nintendo of Europe defends the decision to give the 3DS across Europe an unofficial price point.

Nintendo fans across Europe noticed that during the conference there was no price, instead an unofficial one which allows retailers to price it how they see fit. This means that the 3DS could be anywhere from 215 to 250+ depending on the retailer. With the medium price been over $100 more then what Americans will be paying for it.

David Yarnton believes that the device is "most definitely" worth the money. Viewing the features as major factors to justify the price. Mentioning to press; "When you look at what it does compared to anything else on the market and beyond as far as not just gaming ... once people get their hands on it it's is great value because it doesn't do just what they'd expect from traditional gaming".

Yarnton continued stating; "A lot of the other features that are coming through with it as an entertainment device as well as just gaming - the downloadable content from people like Sky and Eurosport and those sorts of things ... with 3D without glasses there's nothing else on the market at that sort of price."
