Then we should dismiss all said here as representation of the fanbase? But considering how much the "evergreen" of Nintendo sell at full price for several years, I would say that at large the user base support the practice. |
I merely caution that video game forum posters are not representative of the video game buying public at large. To think so is folly.
To your claim of Nintendo being "greedy", their sole business is to sell video games. It's not a side venture where they also sell computers, movies, dvds, music cds, televisions, etc. They don't do annual releases of titles like Call of Duty, Fifa, Madden, Assassin's Creed, etc where they would need to slash prices to get rid of old stock and make room the next title. They do, however, have a Nintendo Selects line with reduced pricing for their best selling games same as Sony and Microsoft have with "Greatest Hits/Essentials" and "Platinum Hits/Xbox Classics".
This doesn't mean that I agree with all of Nintendo's pricing decisions. Their chosen price point for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze would be a good example of that. I bought the game on Wii U, but will not be buying it on Switch.
