| HylianYoshi said: My criticism is more towards the amount of copies, seeing as that's more the reason why the price is (in my eyes) so unnacceptable. Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough in the OP. My anger stems more from the fact that a few months ago, you couldn't even find a copy of the game for under $60 or so. |
Unfortunately for consumers, Nintendo has a pretty consistent track record (recently) when it comes to making limited copies of their stuff. I won't claim to know anything about their finances or philosophy, but it seems fairly evident that they are a conservative company who would rather underestimate demand than overestimate it. Maybe it's because they are a (comparatively) smaller company and don't want to risk having to eat unsold stock? That's my best guess, anyway. Whatever the reason, it certainly makes it annoying for consumers who don't have the cash to get things right when they release.
