Squilliam on 24 May 2009
| scottie said: Good points Squilliam, but I've got to disagree. If you look at the best selling games this gen, they are all full priced (for their console) All of the 1st party Nintendo games that are selling well are doing so without price drops, even after years on the market. What's the RRP for Nintendogs?? Although it is certainly true that a game now has to be either low priced or long lasting in order to sell. |
The one comparable model which is steam and its metrics does show validity to what im saying. Revenue in the short run increases by over 100% for short term price cuts on the games. Unfortunately within the console market there is no such price discrimination, its generally one price and only one price. This is the big reason why a digital distribution model would would wonders for publishers by allowing this kind of stratified pricing.
@Smashchu: Theres no comparable game to Wii Fit, theres hardly any competition for that kind of game from any other game on any other system.
Tease.
