umm.. no.. games gets a lower price beacuse it doesn't sell(or sll less and less)... Nintendo games pretty much always sell enough to never have lower the price... been like this for several generations. 28+ years of playing games have shown me this.

So a quick search...
Pikmin 3, no where in the charts and still is almost full priced.
Zelda Ocarina of time 3d. No where in the charts, full priced....
Luigi's Mansion, same as above ^
A ink Between Worlds 2 ^^
GTA5 (number 18 in this weeks chart). Currently cheaper then all of the above in most stores. It speaks for itself really. Clearly a Nintnedo thing, not a sales thing. As a gamer, I personally prefer it that when I can pick up a game for half price 6months after it launches :)

Haha that's nice. However, I agree Nintendo knows that can keep their first games at full and still except a reasonable level of sales. At the same time the profit margin is so high on thier games that make a lot more money off each unit versus a lot of other third part games.

I'd say only some of their games, but either way its a strategy that works. Keep profit margins high, if someone really wants it, chances are they'll pick it up eventual. I think its part of their marketing aswell though, if its quality why lower the price and its perceived value? But again as a gamer I prefer the price cutting stategy although I don't think publishers specifically cut them, they just give more flexibility to retailers in how they price the games. Ironically that seems to be how Nintendo are with hardware (at least in europe). They've stabalised somewhat but Wii U prices were all over the place!
