But then again, Nintendo's main fanbase doesn't seem to care about the value. I assume it's because of the small outlook on smaller titles like xbla psn games. On PS4 or Xbox One this would be questioned at even $20. It's like how in Canada New Super Mario Bros. Wii was $64.99 (highest priced game in years at that point), but Rayman couldn't even sell until it was like $20-$30. Either way, I'll get this game in the future if Nintendo actually drops the price. |
Why not try to look at it from another perspective. Why do third parties and other first parties launch their games at $60, when just a few weeks if not months from release they are reduced by 60% off and more. Not many complain that the early adopters get duped out of their dollars just because they the companies likes to overcharge their strongest fanbase. Strong case could be made that NIntendo's main fanbase knows that if they are buying a game it won't most likely be in bargain bin weeks after it hits the market. I would say Blizzard and few others are the same. Rest is well, race to the bottom and inflating backlogs.
