nintendoDenise Kaigler, VP of Corporate Affairs for Nintendo of America, recently released a statement saying previous rumours that the company may soon be dropping its prices are untrue.

This is a bold move, after both of Nintendo’s major competitors, Sony and Microsoft have announced price cuts this year as they struggle to measure up to the the phenomenal success of both the Nintendo Wii and the DS/DSi handheld range.

Nintendo’s not expecting to lose out by maintaining its current prices, as Kaigler also stated that the Big-N’s sales forecasts currently “remain unchanged”.
