Who is getting robbed?

Consumers are getting robbed. They think they are getting value for the price, but they are getting ripped off without even knowing it.

No, they are not getting robbed. If they believe the product is worth 50 USD then they will pay it. If they don't, they will purchase some shit game for 10 dollars.

That isn't how it works.  You've never bought something you knew was robbing you in price but you wanted/needed it regardless?  Things sell past their 'worth' all the time, just look at ebay for millions of examples.

Wii hype train games:

MadWorld

No More Heroes

Conduit

Last Story

and every other shit 3rd party game for the Wii. Though TLS and NMH were actually really good. If dumb people want to buy something, let them. Besides, I like seeing Nintendo in the game industry. Fuck Sony and fuck Microsoft. They're not about the games, just about trying to run Nintendo out of business.
