It's not the price of the consoles but the games. I go on amazon and I'm seeing WiiU launch games still going for launch price or at least more than half. That's a bit much for over a year old games.

Then I'm looking at Bioshock infinite which isn't even a year old and got critical acclaim lying in the bargain bin. Hell even top recent games like TLOU and GTA5 dropped the price by 30%.
I already dread the day when I'm getting a WiiU this year and looking for older games to play.

 

who cares about the age of a game? nsmbu sold 88k last week, why should they cut the price to budget?

it will have sold 5 m this year if it dont get a sequel. so why cut the price if its doing fine?

Because they're nice? Other publishers are managing it as well. Even Wii games are still expensive as hell. Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are 6 and 3 years old and are still going for close to launch price.

I'm pretty spoiled by PS3 and PC games where I can get the best games for change. It's not making Nintendo consoles more attractive if you have to play premium for older games. Especially for people who are new to the system and are trying to get into the older titles.

Mario Galxy cost $20 and Galaxy 2 costs $30

Not where I live. And that's still too much for such old games.

Maybe this was always the case with Nintendo games but  I'm spoiled by other publishers.
