I have even more evidence that the release date is not true. It is a Dutch online shop, so the region is EU. Nintendo releases everything in the EU on a Friday. March the 15th is a Tuesday.
This "confirmation" as far as the price goes seems like another one of those "let's speculate on what the most logical price point will be so when it really is confirmed we can pretend like we know what we're talking about."
And i too still expect it to see a holiday-window launch date, unless there's some specific reason why yhey can't get it out by then (tech issues, launch games not ready, etc).
That price sounds good but i'm fairly confident in a 2010 launch window for the 3DS. My main reason for thinking this is, why would Nintendo hype up September 29th as the big day that the 3DS's launch and price are going to be revealed if it will ultimately be disapointing news? If it were truly coming out next year, something that would be very sad indeed, Nintendo would likely just release that information on a random day quietly over the internet. I pray Nintendo proves me right in 23 days.

I've got a feeling they would piss retailers off if Nintendo suddenly announced it was coming before the end of this year.

....I don't get why...it would seem obvious why they would release it before the end of the year...so they should expect it. >_>

Keep it PG-13-ish.
Don't whine about release dates, guys. My birthday is February 13, but you don't see me complaining. I'm just going to wait until the official confirmation. Although what you have said is probably accurate.
Don't get me wrong, having the 3DS released this year would've been great, but if they were going to do that they would have built up the marketing and information on games such as Kid Icarus would be coming out steadily in magazines and at least be advertised. Right now there's hardly been any new information on any 3DS game right now, and that tells me something. I wouldn't want Nintendo to rush a game and put advertising up right before putting it stores. The games need to be as developed and improved as much as possible.

They'd have to beat the new iPod touch in price to be successful.
Just think, a mom is in the store. The 3DS and the iPod cost the same, and being a mom, she asks the people for help. She asks them which one does more. "The iPod does more" they respond. Then she looks at the games for the 3DS and sees them retailing for $30-50, and she knows that games for her iPhone cost $1. She picks up the iPod.
Face it, it's how it works. We'd still buy them as hardcore fans of Nintendo, BUT WE DONT MATTER. We are like 0.0002% of Nintendo's total market. Even if every single person on every gaming site ever bought one, it'd still flop.
You obviously never seen a kid ranting to his/her parent's for something they would REALLY want, like a 3DS. By the time the parent's get to the store, the thoughts of their kid repeatedly saying "3DS 3DS 3DS etc." would scar them xD
And you have obviously never seen how much kids love the iPod touch.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want the 3DS to be rushed but it'd be stupid to release this after Christmas. Everyone will buy it at Christmas. At March everyone won't be bothered to spend that much money after their crazy Christmas spending spree. I garantuee that it'll be released this Christmas.
