I like how Sony has tricked the newer generations into believing in price cuts and the 'Platinum/BUDGET' range. Works well for gimmicks and fads but not for classics.

Nintendo will cut the price in about 20 years and you'll be buying it as a CLASSIC.

How much does Monopoly retail for these days?

Nintendo keeps games prices high on purpose (For profit I believe, but I'm not completely sure if it works on all their games, so I'm not completely sure), not because it is a CLASSIC.

Prices are kept high because of the excess demand for certain games (NSMBWii, MKWii, etc).  Nintendo has probably kept the wholesale price for those games the same, but retailers won't reduce their prices because they are continuing to sell.  Even if Nintendo sold those games to the retailers at half the current price, very little if any of that would be felt by consumers as the excess demand still exists for such games, therefore keeping prices at that level.  I utterly detest the free market,  but that's how it works.
