This comment is on point.  Why is it priced so high?  It does not compete with Sony or MS on games or hardware.  Instead is has gimmicky and limited portability combined with scarce launch titles.  Sooner or later all the Mario cash will run out.  Nintendo execs need a wake up call.  It's a shame to see the company struggle when it has so much valuable IP. The even messed up the Nintendo mini launch, which could have been very successful if not hampered by lack of availability and connectivity.
