Do you have examples of people defending the prices? If you happen to think that I or some other posters in this thread did - we didn't. We explained that they follow a different strategy, with all its ups and downs.

" Other publishers double harm themselves by cutting into their own profits and by deflecting the quality of their own products. Customers nowadays fully expect discounts and to some degree have adapted their purchase behaviours accordingly. It's a negative trend set by the publishers themselves." 

"You buy a Nintendo game when you are ready for it, and I believe that customers will enjoy games more if they truly want to purchase them instead of buying them when they happen to be on sale."

"You may agree or disagree with Nintendo's strategy. It's successful, however."

Your way of explaining things does come across as defending if you ask me, but I guess that is open to interpretation.  My apologies if that was not the case.

And there was another user here that went to say that he actually enjoy games more when he pays full price for them.  That's a logic that I'm not even gonna try to understand.

The article I linked helps with understanding this phenomenon.

Does it mean that we are tricked into liking this? Maybe.
