I know it sucks when we as gamers are threatened to pay more. But in all honesty, the price of video-games haven't really gone up in the past 10 years or so. I remember paying F110,- for Super Smash bros and I payed €50 for smash bros brawl last year. If I take the conversion from guilder to euro that means I'd pay the same today as I did ten years ago which is quite amazing seeing as how inflation rose. Cartridge or no cartridge.
Aside from that, it's up to us gamers to make this strategy succesful. If we keep buying games en-masse with the higher price point then the industry will indeed follow suit. Make higher-priced games flop despite their AAA status and the developers will make their games cheaper. Something they do anyway a few months after release.
As for me... if the price is reasonable I'll buy. It's all relative.
