I don't see how your analogy applies here. Nintendo games are notorious for maintaining their original MSRP for a longer time than any other games and still have better legs. Thus Nintendo would be the good wine and the rest would be the cheap beer. |
They maintain it because Nintendo doesn't authorise huge price cuts on their software, regardless of whether or not its selling. Thats just Nintendo's pricing approach. Skyward Sword is still near full price at play.com, but we all know that game isn't selling anymore. Comparatively the Last of Us is down to £25 but its obviously the better seller and higher rated game.
Whereas other companies lower sales to generate impulse purchases and incourage late adopters, Nintendo simply doesn't care. Nintendo also benefits from having very little competition on their platform compared to the stellar 3rd games found on other successful platforms.
But I agree that of all the 3 Nintendo's titles are most consistent across the board, unfortunately they lack diversity.
