Nintendo games to many people are so much better and iconic that people are willing to spend 60$ on them. While the Crash Trilogy definitely had more effort put into it, I think most people could agree even the base versions of Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and Mario Galaxy are better games.

Which basically just agrees with my point.

And have been many times like that in VGC. Nintendo fanbase have been the most critical of several practices other companies done but praised like crazy when Nintendo done the same. Like locking DLC on Amibos, that was something worse than any other company ever done, still was defended and praised here.

You do the typical thing: you treat some people in the fanbase as the whole fanbase. That is the same on other fanbases, other games got critized by some and were highly anticipated by others. The mother of all shady shit, the yearly FIFA and NBA2K-games with Microtransactions and Gold version and whatnot *on top* of a full priced games regularly sell multiple millions. So yes, I am not surprised that Nintendo will sell a lot of this package, even if they employ shady tactics with this limited time shit. Because every fanbase let's the companies get away with this shady shit. Nintendo is not special in this regard.
