Could 3DS games reach up to $50?

On the day the 3DS price and release date were launched, one title popped up on sites with a price tag of $39.99 (Super Street Fighter IV). Now it seems GameStop has compiled a list for customers to choose from of available titles, with release dates. The first two available for the system (12 days before launch?) are being priced at $49.99! Now every other game AFTER these two initial titles keep the first announced $39.99 price tag. Here is the list GameStop has compiled.

So you are trying to tell me that while Nintendo keeps it's flagship titles at $39.99, and two of the more anticipated titles from Capcom (Resident Evil, Street Fighter) do the same that Dead or Alive, and Samurai Warriors are 10 bucks more!? Dead or Alive hasn't had a relevant entry in it's series in a while, not to mention it's lead creator left the company years ago. Samurai Warriors while fun I would NOT pay 50 bucks for a handheld version in 3D. It also really disappoints me that the one title they initially used to start the hype train for this system (Kid Icarus) isn't even a launch title. Though I'm sure Madden more then makes up for it >.>
