That's how things go when people wait for a price drop. I hope this means more games tho.

[Desert Punk]

Hopefully this rise will be for the long term but price drops do create huge spikes in demand. I reckon Nintendo are onto a winner at the new price. I don't think it will achieve the high sales of the DS and DS lite models which may never be repeated due to the rise of smartphones etc but should at least do competitive numbers compared to the DSi models.

[SamuraiWarrior]

It can only get better.
The new price, new colour and the new games coming out!

[axiomprime]

It can't get worse than the last couple of months.

[Sterculius]

Good times? Nah, same times. I don't get any of that money.

[shinycollector]

I know the sales mainly increased because of the price drop... but.... Does anyone else think Super Pokemon Scramble also increased sales a little bit?

[Zuperman]

This'll increase StreetPass

The **** LOVE their pokémon, I think Pokémon had a little to do with the increased sales! But the Price-drop, Release of the Red console, the release of Starfox and the approaching christmas season is all to thank

No, Not at all. That game may be worth picking up, but not worth buying a new system.
