There is nothing in this game that indicates it needs to be $30 downloadable game, this is in every way AAA game (except of lack of some content on launch). Also Splatoon players and sales of game proves this.

The number of players doesn't prove that a $60 price point is appropriate, considering many players (from my own experience) are not in the USA. For what it's worth, European countries received this game at lower prices than the USA: http://nintendoenthusiast.com/news/splatoon-costs-just-35-in-europe. I'd be interested in knowing the breakdown in sales numbers vs unit pricing.

In US sell numbers are 540k till 31. July. More than half million in two months in US only, thats great sale and big success for new IP, especially regarding Wii U install base. So saying that "this package would be better as a $30 download" is nonsense.
