US retail hints at price-drop, suggesting a similar move across Europe to counter the Sony PSP...
Unconfirmed reports have today suggested a looming price-cut for the Nintendo DS across N America, ahead of the release of Nintendogs on August 22nd. If the retail report is to be believed then the Nintendo DS will be cut from $149.99 to $129.99 (£71).
Thereâ??s no word yet as to whether a similar move will occur in Europe (let alone whether itâ??s a genuine claim in the first place), but given the impending launch of the Sony PSP, we wouldnâ??t be too surprised to find price cuts appearing in your local videogame stores before too longâ?¦
UPDATE
Today's earlier news has now been confirmed by Nintendo of America.
"The new price and the arrival of a mega hit like Nintendogs give Nintendo DS a one-two punch that will thrill consumers," says Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing. "Consumers know Nintendo offers the best in the hand-held video game industry, and this news should make them very happy."
No word as of yet on a similar move throughout Europe, however we expect this to follow shortly...

Maybe if Europe wasn't treated with active contempt by Nintendo, the R4 wouldn't be so damn popular, and there'd be a bit more brand loyalty >_>

"**Recently, Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot outlined the problem that they faced with the DS market, albeit not blaming the device specifically:
"The considerable contraction in the DS market during the year particularly affected Ubisoft, leading to a €160 million, or almost 50%, year-on-year drop in the Company’s casual segment sales."**"
I look at this section and think what utter morons ubisoft have working for them.....there is a
world-wide Recession on so casual sales are going to take a huge hit for everyone....not all people can still casually drop the cash for luxuries like new DS carts or X-Box discs etc
