That's a terrible analogy. The day the game releases on the 2nd platform the retail value on the original platform has dropped. So if you expect the person who owns the second platform to pay the day 1 price of the first platform then there should be more value in the product because they are paying more than the current market price. A new Ferrari of the same model will cost the same one year later as it did the day it first rolled off the production line. The perceived value of a new game drops with time, the perceived value of a new Ferarri does not. There is no reason, in the case of Mass Effect 2, why EA couldn't have released a GOTY version of the game for X360 and PC with all the same DLC as the PS3 version got for $60. Indeed GOTY versions of GOTY winning games are often released a year or so after launch with the main DLC thrown in for the original launch price. Just like every platform is getting for Destiny very soon. No one seems to have a beef with GOTY versions of games releasing, even thoguh the poor schmos who bought the game day 1 had to fork over extra cash to get all that DLC, which is coming to the people who were patient with the original game at the original launch price. |
hell no it won't as soon as you turn the key and drive off it already has lost a shit ton of value... Even a damn Ferrari... And no its not more than the current market price... Since there isn't a PS3 market the day before....
two different platform two different markets can't correlate price of same game over time just because it suits you... When ME2 released at $60 it had more content for the same amount of money day one on PS3 than Xb360... Can't deny just look at the box... So yeah Sony does the same in many cases than MS... Case closed...
and yeah Ferrari might have been a bad choice in brand... Use fiat punto then
