We can debate why Nintendo games sell at higher prices. You can say it’s because of a consistent and reliable history of quality, I think it’s partly that and it’s also partly the fact that Nintendo games face less competition from third parties in their ecosystems. But it’s not really relevant to what I posted or you replied. All that really matters is that what I said is correct, compared to MicroSony, Nintendo titles don’t follow the same sales model. So comparing a title from these companies to Nintendo is a waste of time and doesn’t support any argument you’ve made. Would you not argue that Sony has garnered trust with gamers to deliver quality titles? Yes? Then why do their games get massive price drops routinely just like everyone but Nintendo?

It’s not as if publishers don’t factor in price drops and sales into their revenue projections. You aren’t losing revenue by selling to more people, you’re making more money, which allows you to invest more money into the product.

Again, what would have changed with Witcher 3 had it been designed to “sell consoles”? What does that even mean? Still waiting on any actual substance behind this theory.

Also those MS titles “plummeted” compared to what? Nothing changed about these titles except they are offered at retail AND Gamepass. They are still making games they hope you’ll go out and spend money on and buy consoles for, but you can now play them in other ways too.
