Super Mario Bro 1,2,3. Double Dragon 2, Mega Man 2.

All decent games still today... however their the kinde that shouldnt cost more than 1$ or so.

The hardware cant cost nintendo more than 20$ to make.

I honestly dont feel that 140$ is a "good deal".

Its nintendo screwing over the consumers.

Nintendo underpriced this system at an RRP of $60. They threw away a lot of money with this, because people are clearly willing to pay much more than $60. Nintendo could have set the RRP at $99, that would have still been more than fair.

And my PS4 cost $400 and came with no games! 

 

On a serious note, it's the same old argument of the value of a product. The cost of making the product really has little bearing of it's value. For instance if somebody made a giant heap of dog shit that cost $1M to put together, what value would you put on it?

Now if somebody came up with a medicine that cost 10 cents per tablet to make but cured serious illnesses, how much value would you put on that? 

Of course these are extreme examples but it gets the point across.

We all have an opinion of how much something is worth but the value of a product is usually determined by supply and demand. High demand = higher prices. Low supply = higher prices. High demand + low supply = very high prices. Low demand + high supply = price cuts.
