It's been what? 35 years since the NES and they've been surviving and thriving since. Clearly the majority of the market don't care as they find the games are still worth their value after more than six months. They can still top the charts at that price, while even most heavily discounted games struggle to keep up with those kind of legs. Even Mario Kart Wii is at the 69th spot on Amazon 2018 video game best sellers list at $35. People are happy to pay for a quality game. Also Nintendo Selects exists for the very purpose of forever lowering a 1st party's games price to around $19.99. Switch has just only been out barely longer than a year, most of it's big titles aren't even a year old yet. |
Blockbuster was around for 28 years and look what happened in a blink of an eye. Just because something is popular doesn't mean consumers are getting the most value per dollar. Eventually, a realization dawns on them due to competition contrasting the differences and they go elsewhere.
Majority? Based on what? It's the same ol' ninty fans buying what they like and there's virtually no competition from third party games which leads to higher 1st party sales overall.
Nintendo selects is redundant. Just charge normally and the prices will drop like regular games...
