They should introduce a Player's Choice line for Nintendo games that have dried up in demand. Zelda Twilight Princess doesn't chart anymore like say NSMB (DS and Wii) and Mario (DS and Wii) do. But yet it's selling for $60 brand new here in Canada (I just checked Gamestop.ca, Amazon.ca, Best Buy.ca, Futureshop.ca. The new copies are all $60. The used ones range from $37-45) Given the rules of capitalism, this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Agreed.  And it's even worse for titles that go out of print... try finding a new copy of Fire Emblem Wii for under $50 these days.

I think a lot of older Wii and DS games could dramatically increase lifetime sales with a budget line, and I think it'd also mostly increase overall software sales too.  New games like Mario Sports or Zelda SS are going to sell the same regardless, and full price evergreens like Mario Kart or NSMB won't get cannibalized either, and Player's Choice line really wouldn't hurt anything on the horizon.
