long legs means low revenue most of the time because sony sells their games most of the time for very cheap only half an year after release or even earlier (with 19.99 official price, there is not much left) so a big bang at release should be much favourable to make money. that doesn't really count for nintendo with awesome legs and with high prices even after years for some games.

with that said, i don't think psabr will be a major "flop" like some other games for any console but after all that hype in any forums it still shows that internet world is really different to the whole gaming world. if you would only count the internet hype it should have had one of the biggest launch ever but nobody should have expected this and i think nobody did.

Sony did the same as Nintendo

 

i remember it feeling like it took soooooo long for games like Heavenly Sword and Folklore to hit $19.99. GOW3 hit $39.99 like only 8 months after being released. idk what the rule is when it comes to dropping prices on games in this industry

 

I remember i complained about it at Gamestop lol with Folklore and Mario Galaxy lol "yo these games came out like 2-3 years ago and they still have not hit $20 yet?"

don't know about these games, i just know that the uncharted games, gran turismo and some other were super cheap after very short time and those are even games which sold good without reduction so i don't really think it's a good way just to sell more units (ok they hope to sell more of the future releases then but i don't think that really works so much if people buy the games who weren't interested so much in them)

and there is one to consider, with only one third of the price, the costs of shipping and the disc and the package stay the same so the revenue the developer get's is much lower as one third with one third of the price at retail.

but to know what will happen with psabr we have to wait half an year or so.
