| manuelogando40 said: Most of AAA games released these years have a standard price. It is between 60-70 €/$. But after a few months or even weeks its price is well below that figure. As a more recent case we have two releases fallout 76 and Battlefield V. We might think that their initial sales have not been good and hence the discount. However we have cases like Detroit, which is down to $19.99, even though Sony has recently announced that it is the best release to date of Quantic Dream. On the other hand, Nintendo titles like Captain Toad, whose sales are not as good and its price remains stable over time. So, what do you think. Sales, marketing strategy? Thank you for your answers. |
Nintendo has been caught price fixing a few times.
