Pachter: Nintendo can sell millions of 3DS units with $250 price tag, game prices could increase
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 8 Comments
“We view the 3DS as a revolutionary device, and expect its launch to spur hardware and software sales. Due to the unique 3DS experience previewed by Nintendo at E3 this year, we believe Nintendo will be able to sell millions of units even at a price of upwards of $250. From a software perspective, we believe Nintendo will be able to increase DS software prices, from a blended average of around $25 today to over $29 next year.” – industry analyst Michael Pachter
Pachter also said that games themselves could see higher prices compared to what has been offered with the DS. This wouldn’t be too surprising – Satoru Iwata previously stated that development costs of some titles could approach Wii levels.

Nintendo teams up with breakfast cereal to promote the DSi

I’m sure a lot of you who eat cereal have noticed this by now: Mario’s bright shining face is on the front of many specially marked boxes of Kellogg’s cereals, and he’s there to help give away free Nintendo DSi prizes. From points to systems to games, the prizes are available if you’re lucky enough to open up a box of cereal that has a special code in it, in which case you send away for your winnings.
“Over 50 million boxes of cereal in grocery stores around the country feature the character that helped build Nintendo, Mario™, and a host of hot DSiWare titles. Inside specially-marked boxes is a chance to win great Nintendo DSi prizes, including Nintendo DSi™ systems, games and Nintendo DSi Points™ to use in the Nintendo DSi Shop, which is available through the Nintendo DSi system.”
I don’t know about all of you, but for me there’s nothing better than waking up in the morning to see Mario’s face on my cereal! Especially when it’s something as delicious as Froot Loops. Mmmm…

Players Continue the Adventures of the Green Lantern Film on Xbox 360®, PlayStation® 3, Wii™ and Nintendo DS™
BURBANK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters an action-adventure title that will be available in conjunction with Warner Bros. Pictures’ epic superhero feature film Green Lantern scheduled for release Summer 2011. The game will be available for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system, Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ and delivers an immersive experience for GREEN LANTERN fans that the entire family will enjoy.
Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is inspired by the feature film, which brings the enduringly popular DC COMICS SUPER HERO to the big screen for the first time and which stars Ryan Reynolds in the title role as HAL JORDAN, the newest member of the GREEN LANTERN CORPS. In the videogame players will utilize over a dozen constructs and take flight across the deepest parts of the Universe to restore intergalactic order by wielding the ultimate weapon: the Green Lantern power ring.
“Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters gives players the chance to experience the world of the Green Lantern mythology in an interactive way, going beyond the events of the film and comic books,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The game is the first to center around DC Comics’ Green Lantern franchise and we’re excited to give fans the opportunity to experience the power of the ring with engaging gameplay.”
Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii by Double Helix Games and for Nintendo DS by Griptonite Games.
