Nintendo UK's boss David Yarnton has stated that the 3DS is well worth the money.

During yesterday's conference gamers were surprised at the fact Nintendo did not announce a price for the 3DS, stating that retailers would set the price. Most retailers are listing the console for around �230 in the UK, about �80 more than the price it is in America and �50 more than the launch price of the Wii.

David Yarnton, General Manager of Nintendo UK, has commented on the price point and stated that it is justified. He claims that the unique abilities of the console makes it well worth the money.

"Most definitely [it's worth the money]. When you look at what it does compared to anything else on the market and beyond as far as not just gaming ... once people get their hands on it it's is great value because it doesn't do just what they'd expect from traditional gaming."

"A lot of the other features that are coming through with it as an entertainment device as well as just gaming - the downloadable content from people like Sky and Eurosport and those sorts of things ... with 3D without glasses there's nothing else on the market at that sort of price."
