Nintendo DS price drop - PSP to follow?

Rumours have been spreading about the Nintendo DS dropping in price, and they have been confirmed a few days ago. Formerly 150 USD, Nintendo have lowered this by 20 dollars to give a new MSRP of 130 USD. Considering the PSP is 250 USD, that's a big difference. You can now get 2 DS consoles for the price of 1 PSP.

The price drop will be effective from 21 August, just a day before the US release of the highly anticipated Nintendogs.* Will this put pressure on Sony to drop the price of PSP Value Pack, or even release a Standard Pack like in Japan? Join the discussion.

Most likely not...the DS has been out since November and the PSP just came out about three or four months ago. I expect $50 to be slashed off the price of the PSP come this holiday season, the time when people go crazy with money to bring joy and happiness to loved ones.
