I can't believe how greedy nintendo is. Wonder how they force that policy on retailers. Goddamn. That is so lame.

But yeah, good that there is at least some retailers who don't want succumb to their pathetic demands. Somehow I feel that those few good retailers will not be getting their shipments in time or something.

Ninteno doesn't have to force anything. Nintendo creates a great product that lots of people want and sells it to the retailers at $40/game. The retailers must either sell for a loss or sell it for $50 and make some money. Retailers have the right not to stock the game if they choose. Since people buy the games anyways the retailers don't care. If Nintendo can't keep customer demand up, then they would have to sell the games at a cheaper price to retailers causing the price at retail to drop too.

Oh, by the way, you are greedy too buy working a job. Remember to take no pay, or possibly pay them to work for them so you can be like the almight Sony who is great by selling their console at a loss. If you want to talk greedy we should be talking about all the companies that are trying to take away consumer rights to resell used games.

What? You posted that nintendo prevents discounts on their games...
