Speculated Pricing is around $200-$300 its a guesstimate do not quote me. its a range from researching the pricing DIMENSIONS (when closed): 5.3 inches x 2.9 inches x 0.8 inches WEIGHT: 8 ounces TOP SCREEN: 3.52 inch widescreen display / 800×240 resolution (400 pixels for each eye during 3D gameplay) BOTTOM SCREEN: 3.02 inch touch-screen display / 320×240 resolution CAMERAS: Three cameras, two on outer casing, one above top screen / 640×480 resolution (0.3 megapixel) STORAGE MEDIUM: Cartridge slot for both 3DS and DS cards (3DS cards have a 2GB capacity “at launch”, suggesting larger sizes to come) / SD memory card slot WIRELESS: 2.4ghz / 802.11 wi-fi / Can communicate with other consoles or internet when in sleep mode / wireless can be switched off to preserve battery life CONTROLS / INPUT: Touch-screen / D-pad / 360-degree “Slide Pad” (the analog stick) / motion sensor / gyro sensor / 3D “depth slider” can reduce (or even disable) 3D effects in games STYLUS: 4-inch stylus (when full extended) AUDIO: Stereo speakers (includes stereo headphone out jack) BATTERY: Lithium ion battery (lifespan details TBA) PARENTAL CONTROLS: The 3DS will include parental controls Chipset: While Nintendo is normally very closed-mouthed about the actual hardware used in their systems, there has been some news recently about the graphics chipset used in the 3DS. You might be surprised to find out that it’s not your typical NVIDIA Tegra, but instead some new PICA200 chip (yes, PICA, hold your giggles to the end please). The DMP PICA200 (PICA200, I choose you!) appears to be quite capable to be honest, it’s a 200mhz chip that will put out 15.3 million polygons per second, 800 million pixels, and full screen anti-aliasing. All in all, a most capable graphic chip powering the next generation of portable gaming. Of course, we don’t have much other information about the 3DS (like the CPU), but overall it’s looking positive and should meet expectations. Sources: Kotaku |
