The DSi and 3DS are region locked to play only English games. No European, and no Japanese.
I lol'd.I don't think I'll be buying it. It only cost them about $100 to make, and they try to justify selling it for $250? Really? Nintendo is such a cheap company who cares more about making money than anything else.
I lol'd.
Seriously, DarthPika? Every company ever has always sold its products for a profit.
lol. Blanket statement was obviously a blanket statement. I know that not everything is sold for a profit. I will, however, admit that I did not know that PS3 and Xbox are sold at a loss. Maybe you should flame less?This just goes to show how much you know... perhaps you should do your research before you make a post on something you do not know?
PS3's + Xbox both were sold for a loss. Yes, the companies LOST money on every system they sold. Many electronics are sold for either very little profit, not profit at all, or a loss. They companies make up the money on games/software/etc...
But there, you said it yourself. The companies make up for it. Doesn't really matter how you get it, profit is profit. They're getting you somewhere.
EDIT: Why do you think it is more justifiable to mark up games/software/etc. to make a profit than it is to mark up the system itself?
Yes, they make it up. However, Xbox and PS3 are of far higher quality than the Wii. I've been playing only on Nintendo systems my whole life, and I won't argue that Microsoft and Sony have better products. Also, not only do they have higher quality software, for the most part, their games are higher quality as well.
I'm sorry, but Nintendo is cheap as heck when it comes to making their games. Many of the games made for Xbox and PS3 are light years ahead of Nintendo in terms of production value. Seriously, while other game developers are using high end graphics and live orchestras, Nintendo is using barely passable graphics (the system is so weak that some developers won't even make games for it), and synths that sound like they came from 1996. Seriously, in 1996 blocky graphics and cheap synths were passable. It's 2011, Nintendo got left behind a long time ago.
Also, just FYI, Nintendo marks up it's games just like everyone else. They just so happen to mark up their hardware by a huge amount as well.
So this went from Nintendo ripping you off by "charging $250 for something that only cost them $100 to make," to the quality of their games? I saw that coming.Yes, they make it up.

No, I have sour grapes that they over charge for their system (and are the ONLY major company to do so), and then also have poor quality games.
Yes, Xbox and PS3 must be sold for a loss, or they would be too expensive. That's because they're actually good hardware, and not the cheap stuff Nintendo uses.
@ Charizard,
Why on earth does the target audience mean the quality of the hardware/software should be less? I LOVE nintedo games, but I wish they wouldn't be so darn cheap. They did get left behind. Maybe not in terms of gimmicky (yet cool) ideas, but certainly in production values.
