Nintendo 3DS Cost

A few hours after its launch in Italy, the portable game console Nintendo 3DS was disassembled in order to know the internal components and evaluate an approximate price of production. According to the analysis made ??by our colleagues Eurogame, Nintendo 3DS Japanese company would cost about 101 dollars, or $ 15 more than the previous Nintendo DSi. Although Nintendo has set the launch price of the console at $ 250 3DS (and almost the equivalent in euro in the Old Continent), its cost of production should ensure the company wide margins.

According to website Eurogamer, who has served the company UBM TechInsights to assign a cost to each individual component, Nintendo 3DS would cost $ 101 to its producer, a little more than the cost of production of the previous console. The difference is obviously due to the presence of a 3D display, but also to install a Bluetooth module and an 802.11n WiFi module. At the moment we do not know if the natural disaster that struck Japan will affect the cost of production.

The serious logistical problems currently present in Japan, in fact, could push Nintendo to lower its profit margins rather than further increase the selling price of the console. In the coming days we will give you details.
