Because they are 100% playable from DAY 1... Not 6 months from now with extensive patching.

Pokemon X and Y had multiple patches after launch, one of which was a bug that deleted save data.

OT.  The difference between Nintendo and the other publishers is not legs, it's greed.  Back on the PSX and PS2, many first and third party games sold incredibly well yet were still offered on the Greatest Hits budget line for $20 - $30.  Microsoft had their Platinum Hits line with the Halo series and other games being sold at budget pricing despite the high sales. 

There are games that just completely bomb that Nintendo drops the price, because why sit on 100,000 copies of a game that just people don't want?  How long was Glory of Heracles being sold $5 new before it actually sold out? 

What Nintendo does with their games that sell a reasonable amount but then stops selling, they don't drop the price and print more to get as many sales as possible.  Nintendo quits printing copies.  They'd rather not make anything at all than sell their games at a lower price.  Basically "Get N or go F yourself."  That's their real slogan.

You mentioned one game in the last two years. Last year COD, AC, and Destiny were all released in the LAST 4 months of the year, all not complete. I'll take Ninty's ratio any day of the week, thank you.

So my bad, instead their percentage of their games are 90-95% playable from day one.
