Nintendo's unrealistic pricing for old-school platformers et al.

It doesn't work that way though. We know for a fact that Nintendo invests a lot of money in its R&D and amortizes that by its profit on SW sales. It also doesn't help selling the consoles at a loss.

Having said that, I also believe that reducing the price will increase the volume pushed. It will quell the threat of competing offerings, and as well give them reasonable profit. If Angry Birds can get 250m downloads, I don't see why NSMB couldn't. What makes Angry Birds so much better than NSMB?

Wait, so you think it takes the same man power to make Angry Birds as NSMB?  That's what I think this implies.

Something similar I presume.
But the point of my post was to show that if a game is marked down, depending on what increased volume the markdown could lead to, the revenue could be higher.
