I rarely go above £20, always wait for sales and just stick to Steam. 

Gaming really isn't a major priority.

*cough* bullshit *cough*

As others may have mentioned, the Switch isn't the first console to use cartridges. When it comes to portable games, carts never stopped. Nintendo is my favorite company (it's a love/hate thing) but they sold just admit it's because "We want to make money."

If I were third party, I'd release my games digitally for cheap and then go with a physical release months later. See if my $20-$40 digital game gets a huge mark up when it goes retail. I doubt it.

That source is the same one my article used, Eurogamer, not an official statement just anonymous tips.

I would do the same. Release it digitally since Switch memory cards are standard and cheaply expandable.

Afterwards release the retail GOTY with DLC or make a special edition for collectors and fans.

Double launch, double the attention, double the marketing, everyone wins?

Still doesn't explain why indie-games on Wii U are more expensive than the competition (Minecraft $30 lol). I call bullshit on this one. Nintendo better get their things straight because their overall third party support is horrible and this will not make it better.

Pfffff thats a load of bullshit.If that were nowhere near the trith, 3DS games should have been way more expensive then they are/were(Launch titles go for 40 dollars if im not mistaken).Not to mention that, if what I heard is right, the 32 GB cards are already at a mass production price point(in the sense that they can get one for a price that is not significant enough to affect the final pricing, the same that blu-ray CDs does).

In other words, this is all just bullshit to make people OK with spending more money and developers/publishers to earn more money per unit.

Its expensive due to the taste

This is obviously not the case because of... all the reasons it isn't the case really...

The games are priced higher because Nintendo are trying to see if they can sell them at a higher cost as each title on the Switch is effectively both a home console game sale and a portable sale, so things like New Super Mario Brothers Switch is only going to be one version for Nintendo this generation rather than both on the 3ds and Wii/U which made them a ton of extra cash, they're now selling the games at the cost of around 1.5x the normal game cost because they are effectively 2 different games in the same platform.

Also look at that picture in the OP guys... that explains the quality of the game... Zelda Breath of the wild is not a AAA title.... :D

Here in UK BotW was £48

The excuse is to protect brick and mortar stores, they still play a huge role in promoting products, but really some type of compromise would be best, I hate the fact that digtal is the same price  

They should be priced as WiiU titles were. Nintendo's development time won't be split between handheld and home console, so they can churn out more titles rather than juggle between the different platforms. They just need to make at least one of each series and expand further into their catalogue.
