They probably did that because they were worried about the userbase. After all, look at all the incarnations of GB sold already: regular, Play it Loud series, GB Pocket, and GB Color(which was still going at the time of GBA's release).Originally posted by Johnpv
actually probably yes
you saw the price drop in GBA when they had NO competition soley because they could make it cheaper so they had the consumer save some money too
in less then a year from its release date the GBA (with no competition) is selling for almost half of what it came out at
They probably feared people who already had GB Color and/or the other GBs wouldn't go for the new system, so Nintendo acted with an immediate price drop in order to make the GBA more lucrative.
