In the market for a new portable gaming device? Why not wait a couple of weeks to take advantage of Nintendo’s newly announced price drops for the DSi and DSi XL. Both systems are getting a $20 reduction, going down to $149 and $169, respectively. The price on the older DS Lite, meanwhile, will stay the same at $129.
“We know shoppers want to get the maximum value out of every dollar they spend,” Nintendo exec Cammie Dunaway said in a release issued this morning. “Our new Nintendo DSi prices make it easier than ever for consumers to access the tremendous variety of games, applications and social tools on the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL systems.”
Early this summer at E3 in Los Angeles, the company announced the forthcoming release of the 3DS, a glasses-free portable gaming console due out in March of next year.
The Nintendo DS in all of its various iterations has been the leading portable gaming console for some time now. Since its launch in 2004, Nintendo has sold some 42.3 million units in U.S. alone.
