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

I'm not sure that we would see a jump in SW sales, if anything, they'll likely go down this Generation. 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.

We can't always count on potential. I doubt many of those people would want to jump ship from their Phones (as gaming devices) to Nintendo just because they dropped the price of some of their FlagShip titles. I just don't see it playing out. 

Let me ask you this, what do you think 2D Mario should be priced at now? (Sorry if you already answered this.)
