I think Sony are going to find that the sweet spot for handheld pricing now is well under what they're selling for. They actually have a better launch line-up in general than the 3DS did, but they're selling for $10 more than the 3DS did at launch and that's ignoring the fact that the 3DS came with an SD card instead of bullshit proprietary memory.
Honestly can't see it doing brilliant until a price cut. The only issue is that they'll be taking a loss on every console sold already, whereas the 3DS is the first console Nintendo are selling at a loss.
Either that or the 3G model will be subsidised with the service contract in the US or Europe which could spur sales.
