Wasn't that the original price of the DS (and all the revisions)?

If anything it now provides a bigger gap away from the Vita which could kill off some of its steam after Sony announced the lower model was the same price as the 3DS.

It could also have a side effect of making the Wii U cheaper than what Nintendo originally wanted so that the Wii U doesn't have the slow sales like the 3DS initially had.
