I don't see many friends buy retail versions anymore for PS vita games as they are slightly cheaper digitally (when they first release) and the effect is, that it's now days even hard to find some games at retailers. So I can imagine that if this happens in the same way with PS3/XBOX360 games the game stores will be empty very rapidly. But with this I come to another questions: Why do we see lower priced XBOX360/PS3 games at retailers, but Nintendo games don't get any price reductions. |
Nintendo are the only publishers-distributors to not offer price protection to retailers. Consequently, you never see Nintendo games go down in price and retailers only order limited copies of ''Nintendo'' games in order to limit their loses if ever the game bombs and to not have an excess of inventories.
