The price is too high. Oh well, it won't sell well even if it was $20.

Correct. So then, as a company trying to make money, is the price too high?

Yes, Based on a simple demand and supply model, at $40 the game will sell much less than if it was $20. We already know the game won't sell that much, but at $40, Nintendo are making sure the game doesn't do well. 

When I see people make comments like this, it just makes me wonder, did u forget about Captain Toad?

A ton of people were claiming it was overpriced, looks like a $15 eShop title, and couldn't possibly sell well. Now it's at 500k and with strong legs could sell 1 million. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar scenario with Rainbow Curse.

Yeah...his comment made almost no sense at all. Obviously, if the game was sold at $20 instead of $40, the game would sell more, but he wasn't taking into account the profit that Nintendo needs to make on this game. I would sell a fuckton of cars if I only charged $1, but is that gonna net me more profit than selling them all at $15,000? Hell nah.
