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 exception 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. 

That's not true.  Nintendo games sell well long term not just because they're good but also because of severe lack of competition which means the players are left with little other options.  

 

And there are wii u games still at high price that are selling worse than ps4/X1 games that get discounted anyway.  So no its not because all the expensive wii u games are selling great.  Only a handful are.
