Look at all the "high quality" games that people don't want

What does this even mean?  Why would anyone say that when just about every game you can mention is being re-sold somewhere?

I'm honestly puzzled by this.


That's simply not true if I read you correctly. Nintendo first party games are generally much harder to find in stores under the "used" shelf, wheras Sony and MS first party games are far more often available in the used section. Companies like Nintendo (and there are others) are of such charming quality that people never want to resell them again, whereas companies like Sony and Microsoft which sell games that often times (not always by the way) feel heartless and less than charmful have a lot of used games in stores. I hardly ever see used first party Nintendo games in stores. People keep those games.

Not true?  I don't know what you're talking about but you can get New Super Mario Bros. U, the first Wii U launch title that came to mind, just about anywhere used.  What does that mean?  If we go by what the poster I quoted was implying, then games that get traded in aren't high quality.  You have a problem with that, talk to him.

I don't really see even those around that much to be honest and if you do, you will still be paying atleast $45.  I think Pikmin 3 is my rarest Wii U used game I have seen.  Since August I have seen 2 in stores and on ebay they are always expensive.   Nintendo games are always a good investment.

I think it says more about the people who play them than the games itself.

Maybe PS4 gamers don't have much money. Hence they chose the cheaper system ;)


on the contrary, PlayStation gamers have more money, because sony told them to get two jobs 7 years ago. 


Leave it to you to make me spit Mountain Dew everywhere.

$30.00 used on Amazon.  That's because Nintendo doesn't drop their prices.

I've maybe seen 1-5 ever used copies of that game in the stores I go to. And the workers I talk to at Gamestop even have admitted (if memory serves me correctly) that Nintendo games usually don't get traded in like Sony/MS games do and that's why they don't have as many of them in stock at least at Gamestop.

I was going to do this thread a couple of hours ago but for some reason the site wouldn't allow me. anywho seems like they really need that DRM thing to force people to keep games they really feel there is no value in

well if ya can't make quality games ya gotta find a way to force them to keep'em right? DRM is coming (already started with some games)

I think all these posts pretty much said what I was implying (more better than I could have said it infact). All I was implying was that Nintendo games don't get traded in as much as Sony/MS games do. And Nintendo doesn't drop their prices also adds to that fact since their games always sell reguardless of their price...

From my point of view, if a person has a high quality game, they will keep it for a really long time provided the quality of the game met the standards of the customer and if it didn't or if the person got bored of it or some other reason. If the person traded it in and get in store credit that usually means the customer sees no value in having the game any longer. And these games came out not too long ago. But since Nintendo games generally don't get traded in as often and have $60 price tag even a few years after release, it speaks to the quality and replayability of those games...

With that being said, I am not saying Sony/MS can't make high quality games by any means, The last of Us was on my top 10 favorite games of 2013. I was mainly referring to games like these which, imo, weren't good compared to others that have been released in 2013...

I may turn in Killzone Shadow Fall. My biggest gripe with it is the ditching of xp progression online. This has severely reduced it's replay value for me. Campaign was okay, but not beat more than once okay. IMO.
