That is precisely my point hence why I gave the example of GOW. Value is in the eye of the beholder. Let those willing to pay for Labo do so and simply say  it is not your own particular kind of gravy. Not try to say people are stupid for their pricing of something an individual has no interest in.

At the end of the day, Labo is outselling GOW in Japan which would suggest they believe it is worth that amount more than GOW is worth its price.

Labo might not be doing as well as some currently think it should but there is no basis to attack it on its pricing. Anything can be attacked on pricing because our value systems are different.

So if we can let those willing to pay why shouldn't we let those willing or wishing to complain or label it a rip-off do it? He didn't say people are stupid, he said Nintendo is ripping them off.

Yes sure, GoW have sold so much every entry in Japan right?

Some? You are pretending to live under the rock to not see the high expectations not being met in several places as reported in VHC?

There is basis for attack and you just ignored it. Or do you see production cost and value put in those softwares to validate the pricetag?

1.

I don't recall saying anyone who wants to complain should not. I have only questioned the basis on which their complaint is made. Those who feel they are being ripped off already have a recourse.......They should not buy the product.

I do like your spin on the claim that Nintendo ripping people off though, from where I stand Saying those who buy Labo are stupid and that Nintendo is ripping them off are exactly one and the same. It assumes a patronising position that those people buying Labo are not smart enough to figure it out for themselves that they are being ripped off.

2.

You say GOW have sold so much every entry but then overlook the fact that Labo is not only a new game but is also a totally new concept as to its creative aspect which will take time to be understood and accepted hence why it shouldn't be judged hastily.

 

3. Yes, 'some' meaning 'not all'. Need I explain that any further ? If you wan't to believe that everyone believes that Labo has underperformed, then you are very welcome. If you need specifics on the spread of those who believe it has underperformed and those who believe it is well on track, you are welcome to put up a poll.

 

4. There is a basis to attack 'anything' so that isn't saying much really. And yes, I do see production costs and value in the software to validate its price tag even if I am currently not interested in it myself, furthermore you don't need to ask me that question, you can ask all those who have bought it in Japan to put it above GOW sales or those who have bought it in the US to make it one of the top selling software for the month according to NPD.
