^^^ i was just asking a question. I dont think that they should all be on portables, but i do think they should be cheap because... they are cheap to make. its as simple as that I dont think it has anything to do with quality I dont think 3d games are better but they are more expensive to make thats a fact. Unless there handdrawn then that could get expensive. Put it this way. Would you pay the same price for a SD TV today as you would ten years ago??? or as much as you would pay for an HD TV??? hell no you wouldnt, as technology progresses it becomes easier to make things. Why is NSMBWii the same price as Galaxy2?? Because Ninty knows people will pay that much for the game and more power to them. I know what your gonna say "it doesnt matter how much it cost to make as long as its fun" and thats ok to feel like that. but those "devalued" 15 dollar games provide me with just as much fun as the games of old for a fraction of the price and i dont feel raped either.

Your analogy is terrible, because it's about technology. Video games are entertainment though.

A fitting analogy would be you going to a theater and deciding which movie you are going to watch. Let's say there's a new Adam Sandler film and a new James Cameron movie, a ticket for either one of these two costs $10. You decide to watch the James Cameron movie based on the fact that it did cost more to make and wonder why people are stupid enough to pay $10 to see a comedy that was produced at the fraction of the cost of the James Cameron movie. Don't these people know that more expensive movies are better movies by default?

I don't have anything to add at this point in time, so I will just agree with Rol here.
