Hmm...  Let's see...

There is not one (NOT EVEN ONE) WiiU nor Wii game on the top 75 VGC chart as of sept 09th.  So I really have to wonder: Where are these people that are buying these games two or three years after its release?

And if the legs provided by the "high quality" of these games is what is preventing them to drop in price, then where are these legs people speak of?

Oh! And btw, Mario Tennis (which has a Metascore of 58 and a user score of 5.3) is still selling for 49.99 on Nintendo's website.

So...  Nope. Quality has absolutely nothing to do with it.

How come that you ignore 3DS games?

Well, I didn't mention those 3DS games because they are still selling as of today.  So yes, I can totally understand Nintendo keeping the price of those high.

What I don't understand is Mario Tennis selling at 49.99 and Wii Party U selling at 39.99.

What I don't understand is all of those games that are not selling anymore.  Any other company would say: "you know what? since we already sold what we were going to sell of this game, now let's drop the price a bit in order for us to snatch some new fans to this franchise".  

But not Nintendo, they won't do that.  And you know why? because they probably think: "Nahh, if we do that then our customers are going to get used to that behavior and then they are going to start waiting for the prices to drop everytime".

At the end of the day, they are just different approaches and trategies my friend.  Which one works best for them as developers in the end?  I have no idea.  What I DO know is which one works best for me.
