Because the price of 95% of all the major games that come out on the platform are controlled by the same people?

And why do people buy into a platform that has such software pricing?

I get the point your going for, but I don't think it holds up. You're trying to say that Nintendo games stay expensive because they're better, which I think is only partly true. Its true in the sense that there are gamers who specifically want the type of games that Nintendo makes, and nobody makes those types of games better, so they're willing to endure their pricing system for those experiences. I don't however think that such a reality can be effectively compared with the larger gaming market, since most major games face far more competition and a much more open market than Nintendo games.
