This could be because the game retains its high price tag very well. Not sure about the US but it's still €50 over here - most PS3 games rapidly drop in price. There's no reason to release a €30 GOTY edition when you can sell the core game at a higher price and sell the DLC separately.

Either that or there'll be a PS4 version - I'd actually dig that a lot as I haven't played the game yet (and if I can get the PS3 version for 50 bucks or the better looking PS4 GOTY edition for 60 - yeah, I'd go PS4 then).

Not the 1st party games. I remember Heavenly Sword and Uncharted 1 being $60 at retail all the way up til late 2009.

Well, I don't know about those two but I hardly ever buy PS3 games above €30 and I own some first party games. The only games that consistently keep their price are Nintendo's first party titles. (I'm not saying any of this is related to software quality)

It may be an economic thing. Mario games, for example, have great legs. And Nintendo knows that. They know several million units are gonna be sold, but at the same time, the sales aren't front loaded like a Halo or Call of Duty. So they'll let their games stay at full price for years knowing people are gonna buy them. Whereas, with COD, for example, the bulk of the sales come in the first months, and then die off, so price cuts down the road spur sales. If Mario games sold 10M copies in the first month, I doubt the game would be full price a year later (unless Mario started selling like 50M every release =/ )
