So, Sony PlayStation Store pricing, nobody bats an eyelash: PSOne: $5.99 But, Nintendo Virtual Console games (which this isn't, it's a physical + digital release from SquareEnix) MUST start at $1, or everyone loses their minds. Why, because Nintendo has been around longer and has a library that predates the PlayStation brand? I'm pretty sure if there was a PlayStation console in the SNES/Genesis era, Sony wouldn't be selling games from it in their online store for .99 cents a piece. And, to reiterate, Nintendo didn't dictate to SquareEnix that Square has to price their collection at $45. Yet, I haven't seen 1 comment saying Square is asking a bit much (again, despite the fact that they are also commiting a physical release to this collection), only that NINTENDO is crazy for choosing this pricepoint (which again, they didn't. Square did). |
Considering that you're most likely not get an aswer to this anymore, you've probably hit the nail on the head.
