If game prices bother you maybe just stick with a 360 or PS3 (sounds like you have one of them). There's a slew of $20-$30 games you can pick up and most new games get discounted after 3-4 months somewhere.
PS4/XB1/Wii U are simply going to have more expensive game prices, there's no getting around it and Nintendo games in general don't drop in price all that often.
