Nintendo Cuts Price of DS Console

Nintendo Co. Ltd. on Tuesday said it cut the U.S. price of its Nintendo DS portable video game device by 13 percent to about $130 from about $150.

The price cut, effective August 21, comes nine months after the launch of the pocket-sized device, which opens like a clamshell and has two screens, including one that responds to touch.

Nintendo said the price cut comes ahead of the August 22 U.S. release of "Nintendogs," a video game that allows the player to mimic ownership of a puppy and is already selling well in Japan.
