Nintendo certainly controls pricing of their games and keeps them high. Such is life. From a business perspective I get it, keeps brand equity.  

As an example I would never pay full price for Madden, given I know it will be $10 within a year.  I also really enjoy Borderlands, but may wait on BL3, again because it won't hold value.  On the other hand I day 1 Nintendo games, because it will be 4 years before they hit $20.

Actually this isn't entirely true they don't control the price you personally pay retailers themselves do. The real reason the isn't a drop in price is because their games are always in demand hence why even second hand retailers still charge high prices for them.

Well controlling inventory essentially controls price.  Nintendo doesn't ship their games to the point of over saturation.  Supply matters just as much as demand.
