3DS stocks won’t run dry, but price may rise

Posted By | On 25th, Mar. 2011

Even if you haven’t pre-ordered your 3DS, Nintendo UK marketing manager James Honeywell has promised that their will be enough handhelds to satisgy everyone.

Honeywell has warned however, that the price of the handheld may well rise in the coming months. “The only thing I would suggest to any readers is, don’t wait,” he said.

In regards to the cheap prices offered by retailers for the unit’s launch Honeywell said that “I’m not sure a lot of those offers will be there for the long term. Those are great offers for the launch. There’s huge amount of noise and hype around the launch. Those prices will start to revert a bit.”

“Clearly people are trying to get as many possible sales as they can in these first couple of days. After that, perhaps a little more normality will come back to the market and you’ll see that creep up again.”

“So don’t wait and think, ‘Oh, if this is how far it’s gone down, it’s going to go down even lower.’ You might see the opposite.”

Time is of the essence it would seem.
