I do not see why any consumer looking out for themselves would not "want as much as they can get for as little expenditure." This is a basic law of biology and energy conservation. This is also something that is normal in thought processes, so it is a stupid statement to expect a consumer to be looking out for a company.


No, but like the saying goes, you get what you pay for.  A consumer downloading a 99 cent app is only going to get 99 cents worth of content because the developer is likewise putting in as little expenditure as possible.  A consumer who frequents the eShop on 3DS is a dedicated video gamer looking for more bang for his buck.  The point is that the majority of people downloading 99 cent apps aren't eating into the sales of a dedicated handheld system, because they were never in the market for those types of games in the first place.
