| Nuvendil said: It is justified in that there are costs to recoup. And in LA Noire's case, since they priced it so low, a larger percent of profits lost. But it is not some one to one. It went up by $10 because that's the increment by which it always goes up, for thus it was spoken and thus it shall forever remain. A $5 price increase would be a much more justifiable increase. They went with 10 out of habit and cause it grabs a bit extra. And none of this address Puyo Puyo Tetris or Rime which are $10 more as well with no justificstion being on 2GB and 8 GB carts respectively. And that's assuming Rime on Switch is the same file size as PS4. It's small enough that it could almost squeeze into a 4 GB cart. And those fly in the face of Sonic Forces which is in a similar situation but no price hike. And NBA 2K is at least on a 16 GB, maybe a 32 GB (we'll see), and no price hike. And Skyrim has to be at least on a 16 GB cart, same launch price as the Special Edition. If it was a serious hit, hikes should at least be consistent. |
You and me doesn't know the other variables involved. Liscensing fee, shipping, etc. We can argue all day unless we have solid fact. You and me cannot draw a solid conclusion but I will take the word of an insider that is telling us that it is justified to just a random poster here (sorry). Unless you can prove us other wise with a reliable source about your estimation.
First and foremost we are talking about the 32GB carts. One question how much Rime cost digitally? because I heard La noire cost $10 cheaper digitally.
As Zhuge point out it's not accepatable for a price hike for those type of games that are using 2GB or 8GB carts. I also find that inexcusable. That's why I said both 3rd party and Nintendo are both at fault which my main point to begin with. We cannot blame it all on 3rd parties.
