It will be awesome and I will buy one for sure BUT...

obviously 3DS will not be like this because think about it.
3DS has 2 screens in this video only one is shown and processed... and one of the screens is 3D so that is 3 screens that the GPU needs to process for not just one.

Than its all the AI that I am guessing takes up quite a bit of processing too.

But I am sure the old DS could never process anything similar to this.

In Terms of Cost, I would totally pay $250 for it. Anything more and it would be like the same mistake the PS3 did at it's price launch.

I'm very excited for the 3DS tho. I love my PSP and DS ~ I love how my DS works, but the graphics on the PSP and how smooth things can look, then looking at the DS graphics it was a little sad.

So I'm glad that the graphics will be on par if not better then PSP, personally I could care less for 3D or not thats just a bonus, I'm mainly excited hopefully see FF6 for the 3DS (which won't come till 5) but I'd love to see FF6 in the style of FF7 only with voice acting, etc. To me, FF6 is one of the Top FF of all time, seeing that it was on SNES, that says a lot even against todays latest FF series.

@trunkz... but do we think PS3s price was a mistake still?

Can't you see it all worked out in the end?

If Sony had released a cheap console it make have just been trashed by the 360. The fact that it cost more in the beginning meant that it could house all the good expensive stuff for the future (Blueray,Cell whatever else made it cost like $800 to produce the first few consoles) instead of releasing A PS4 which is like the current PS3 3 years down the line.

I looked at wikipedia. I did get the original one but I for damn sure didn't pay for it lol.

It should have been $150 according to the article.

Therefore, $200-250 is a very plausible estimate for the 3ds. They know people will come in droves to pay that price

I won't pay anymore than $200. Nintendo is crazy to charge anymore than that amount. By the time the 3DS comes out the tech should be a little bit cheaper, assuming a March 2011 launch date. Additionally, the higher volume of systems they ship, the cheaper it will be. Secondly, the 3DS will effectively be competing with the PSP rather than the DS. Parents on a budget will still buy the DS over the 3DS if the cost is too great. Likewise, the graphics are relatively similar to the PSP as well as (arguably) the value. If the manufacturing cost to retail price is small, Nintendo should tough it out. The volumes they sell at $200 imo will amount to a huge contrast to the number they sell at $250. Of course this is speculation, however, it seems common sense. Who will buy a handheld for more than the price of a Wii outside of early adopters/hardcore? Not me, a "mid-core" gamer :-p

I understand that, but if you pick a boy you get the worse choices.

It's so weird being that the player base is 70/30 male you know. You would think that they would give the males a better choice selection.
