If it were that easy to "take advantage" of the poor casual gamer, don't you think Sega or Capcom would have tried making those games retail games?

They have in some cases... Capcom tried with SF4 and MvC3, but received a backlash from many fans both times because they felt they were being ripped off content-wise. Long-time companies like Capcom and SEGA definitely would if they could, but unlike Nintendo, they don't have their own console where they can push their own titles with little to no competition. It's much harder to price an 8-16bit style game like 2D Mario n Sonic or similar titles at $50-$60 when it's going up against the likes of Halo, COD, God Of War, MGS, GTA, Skyrim, etc. Then they would start selling closer to Rayman Origins numbers... great throwback platformer with amazing visuals, but most gamers didn't see enough value to fork over $60 for it.

So you are suggesting Nintendo games only sell as much as they do because nobody bothers to put the major third party games on the platform?
And why does a game with an old gameplay style automatically equate to a lack of content? Old fighting games are not old platformers.

I think he is just thrown that you are more than ok with Ninty charging 4 times the amount for games that would cost less than on a another console. You seem to like it. Never seen someone who WANTED to spend more money, but to each his own.
