| Bandorr said: So they take the $10 dollar game and sell it for $25. Let's also say the games cost $40, and the store can get them for $25. So in the most extreme case of 1) they are able to sell EVERY game they get. That is every game outdated and on a now retired system. 2) That the games cost $40 and not the $60 despite Nintendo giving no evidence of this and still calling it a "console" 3) That retailers can get them for $25. In this very extreme never going to happen ever situation.. the stores are breaking even. Why would the retailers ever go for something that at the BEST chance of breaking even - even do this. At the 0.0000001% chance of this plan working, yet they get nothing for it. |
See my reply directly above.
Not extreme case at all.
1) non-issue based on a trade-in plocy where disc game is destroyed and digital code is given.
2) These are just DLC addons put into a new game package and intended to create best value from a new launch. Seems silly to assume it will be full price. Nintendo has multiple new games at the $40 price point where they were obviously lower dev costs.
3) See #1.
