These handheld games also have much less production budgets than the console games in the same years. Only a fraction of multiplatform games got released on GBA/DS/3DS and home consoles at the same time with the same content... not a very good comparison! |
What does production budget have to do with media format? The games are already sold for less because they have lower production costs (which I noted despite using a more expensive media format.) And again, I already disputed your multiplat argument. Nintendo can always reduce licensing fees per game sold by the cost of using carts vs. Blu-Ray (which is miniscule) if third parties aren't willing to take a $.50 cut. In the long term it saves Nintendo money because they don't have to replace games and disc-drives that become unusable(which they do now.)
