Putting the PC cost argument to rest

Nintendo has no direct control over the prices of the circulating copies but for sure they have indirect control over the prices: they just have to start another print run and sell it... or do you just not know how prices are regulated? Supply and demand determine the price... if they enhance the supply and demand stays the same, the price will sink.

Or aren't they allowed to produce more units?

The problem with that, the Wii is unsupported. Unless they (Nintendo) do a limited run of the game (which they wont), the price of Xenoblade will never go down. The supply is just not there, so the demand will increase the price dramatically. 

They likely aren't allowed to produce more units, and likely wont with the sequal coming 

Why is that likely? Who would have an interest to forbid them to supply the demand? Monolith Soft? They would get their cut of the additional sales!

And it has not even to be a retail version. Why not offer the game in the eShop, downloadable to Wii and Wii U consoles?
