I'm pretty sure it won't come down to $20 for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. You can pretty much kiss "Player's Choice" goodbye. Nintendo wants to avoid price cuts. Price cuts, especially after just a few months, really screw over the core audience of a particular title, and encourage them not to buy early, and so Nintendo has stated several times that they're trying to move away from that model--both with hardware and software. You don't see DVDs or CDs drop in price over time, after all. |
Admitedly a long time after games do though, It is probably due to the nature of frontloaded games like GTA, which sell the majority of their copies in the first month (if not the first day) so not many people want them later on.... wheras with CD they sell like Nintendogs because they are still desirable later in life.
