Would definitely attract people who don't care about having physical things cluttering their house, and they can get games at $45 instead of $65 (if not less) and have games preinstalled so they can play it midnight of the release date.
I can see that attracting people. |
I think that people expecting games to launch at less than $60 as a standard will be disappointed. Nintendo has made their stance clear on that. They think it devalues games.
That's why the rewards aspect of the membership program is so important. It allows them to circumvent that while still retaining premium pricing, since the only way you will get the deals is by spending money on games. People are going to compare the program discounts and deals to Steam sales. That's how fleible it will be.
