It was inevitable that Nintendo 3DS sales were going to drop after the sudden announcement of a price cut but a 50% drop in sales is rather harsh. Sales for the PlayStation Portable inexplicably surged after the news from 26,868 units from July 11-17 to 36,666 units in the July 18-24 time period. However, you can rest assured that once the price cut takes effect sales for the Nintendo 3DS will go through the roof.
