DSI price slash increases sales by 40%
Nintendo DSi handheld as cheap as £95
Nintendo launched a campaign to drop the price of the handheld DSi to help the sales along and this has seen the price reduction passed on to the consumer. As a result sales have been increased by a reported 40% week on week. The average price reduction as meant you can pick up a console for £130 giving you a £30 discount, however some supermarket chains such as Asda have taken this even further offering it for as low as £95.
The reason for Nintendo giving a price drop is in my opinion a tactic to make way for the new 3DS handheld due out in October this year. They are obviously trying to punt as many of the DSi’s as possible and people will probably then have a hunger for the new console as a result. Good strategy if that is true.
The price reduction does only apply to the DSi and not the DSi XL or DS Lite versions of the console. Out with the old in with the new. i am really looking forward to the release of the 3DS as I think it will become a new bench mark in the gaming industry.
