I fail to see how pricing $50-60 for MK8 or Splatoon is "ripping off costumers." Those games are still quality, still pretty new, and still the newest games in their respective series.

That is why you won't see games such as Call of Duty in the west or Monster Hunter in Japan retaining their value. The market is flooded with them.

Until dawn which was a sleeper hit not long ago could be got for $20. If that was Nintendo it would be double.  Dishonoured won game of the year awards in 2012 and a few months later I got it for $25. 

 

The fact is Nintendo take advantage of the fact none of their games have competition and the fans get ripped off.  

 

If you buy a wii u now and a ps4 you'd get waaaay more quality games for let's say $20 on the ps4 then the Wii U.  

 

It's economics 101. Competition benefits the consumer and on the Wii U there's no competition.  

They have done this ALWAYS, with or without competition, so dont try to make it sound like an evil thing to do. Their games have value long time after its release, and they know it, the reason why others games from other companies go down so quickly is not because they want to have a nice detail with the people, is because nobody is already buying them, triple A games outside a few exceptions tend to be heavily front-loaded, so they stop selling pretty quick and they need an incentive, Nintendo games however, have always had inmense legs, they are not only about the hype of the day 1, so they mantain their value for a long time.
