Nintendo 3DS Conference Very Disappointing

So the Nintendo 3DS is now officially announced. I've been very excited for it. Now the PSP is not the only hand held device with a thumbstick. They announced some pretty cool things, better online experience, 3D Without glasses, etc... but now the conference is over, I'm extremely disappointed.

People asked me, "Well how could you be disappointed with the new 3DS?" well how about for startes the price? The price of the new Nintendo 3DS is $250!

That's right, the Price is $250, the same price of the Wii. A hand held device is the same price as a console.

Nintendo has always been the "affordable" gaming company. They always wanted families to afford their products. But with the price of the new 3DS it's just ridiculous. They're starting to do just as Sony did. Just because of "who they are" everyone will trust them and agree that $250 is a fine price. In the big picture it's really not, for another $50 you could get an Xbox 360 with DVD Play Back and Full HD Support also the Kinect. USA Doesn't even get it as bad as Europe though! People in Europe have to pay another $100! Just to get their hands on the new 3DS.

This is not a good post……
The only disappointment you found was the price.
And your reason is dumb- "In the big picture it's really not, for another $50 you could get an Xbox 360 with DVD Play Back and Full HD Support also the Kinect." NO because the point is that you want 3D and you want it to be portable. The Xbox is a gaming console without 3D- they are 2 different things entirely. Also, the Kinect costs $150- so with an Xbox with Kinect you would pay $450.
Lastly, don't post dumb things. Im not a Nintendo fan and I don't plan AT ALL to purchase a 3DS, yet I found your post terrible.
Bye.
