Labo is a huge ripoff and a waste of a great concept (so far)

1 - I asked for the cost to develop Labo, and you said you would gave after I gave you GoW. I gave you GoW 3 and why GoW PS4 would be on that ballpark. You gave Pokemon marketing cost as estimation for cost of Labo, don't try to dig your way out of it. Give the estimate cost for Labo in a way that at least makes sense. Because surely I didn't say that just being made by the same studio means same cost, I gave you much more than that.

2 - No I didn't say only graphics increase cost, I said they are the main source. You are still needing to show how the craftness of Labo had big cost involved. Because unless you think RPG Maker had a very big budget  because it allows you to create you would be plenty wrong. And having a premium on the price doesn't change the cost at all.

3 - You are the one that have to defend your Labo pricing and cost (which you really didn't at all), not I am supposed to explain to you how Labo development cost work and estimate it for you.

5 - WiiU was considered overpriced as general here in VGC with the culprit being the Tablet. Overpriced no in a way of the retail price being much higher than the manufacturing cost (at first) but more on undervalue for the price, but then as tech should make pieces cheaper and Nintendo held the price (with justification in VGC being that they didn't expect sales to increase with price drop, which they can't really prove since it didn't happen) then it became overpriced in the way that the manufacturing cost was considerably lower than retail price (and for this a lot of Nintendo fans justify with Nintendo not selling HW at break even point because poor Nintendo is only gaming company and can't afford it, at the same time slinging dirty at sony being broken and profiting at total company less than Nintendo with only gaming... still Sony do sell HW at loss or break even).

 

Please make points that stand and you can source or explain, instead of just spinning around waiting me to prove everything to you.

1.GoW4 no way cost the same as GoW3, but yeah, GTA5 cost the same as GTA4 oh wait...

2.Since when Labo have AAA graphics?

3.Yeah, Labo is expensive as much as PS VR, agree with you.

4.Sony sell HW at loss or break even, that must explain why Vita cost $250 only with power of ps3, oh wait, i mean 1/6 ps3 power and another $40 - $50 for a memory card requirement, yeah only ~ $300, not much, still cheaper than 3DS oh wait. Many Vita games are digital only since 2014 but $64GB card is still super cheap compared to 3DS, oh dear, Nin is too greedy, they should learn Sony to sell Labo like Vita price.

1 - I think you are answering to the wrong person. Or do you think Labo cost over 50M to make because Pokemon marketing was 50M?

2 - It doesn't, where did you got that from?

3 - PSVR is considered expensive, but since it is cheaper than main competitors I wouldn't say it is overpriced.

4 - Go look at all Sony releases and philosophy, they have always released below cost. PSViita could be explained by economy of scale not being reached and this didn't allow for many price reductions, although it dropped with time. And have you seem anyone defending PSVita pricing?
