So, unless Sony or MS make their games cost 70$, I don't think a Market Shift towards Nintendo just because their prices were lowered would happen. It doesn't seem too likely. |
I think the potential market is bigger than the console market of today leads us to believe. Facebook and moblie platforms would lead us to believe that there is a huge market out there. Even ignoring that important possibility, a jump from platforms is not required in the purchase of a new platform. The owning of a gaming console from one company or another is not mutually exclusive.

So no, the ticket price for big budget films is not underpriced. It is what it is and it's a variable movie studios have to work with. |
In relative terms, it's underpriced. The truth is that a lower-budget film may have a similar number of viewers than a higher-budget film due to the fact that appeal has in certain cases not so much to do with budget.
A movie with depth may require a lesser budget than a movie with special effects, yet they both could garner the same audience.
The problem with NSMB imho is that it doesn't even have that depth, and is in a difficult spot. Even if it did have depth, for argument sake, it certainly no longer has much novelty left. I can't say the same about 3D Mario which is in constant evolution.
