I forget what the term is called in psychology and business, but the high price point is for the suckers and diehards who are willing to overpay for those games.Then when they go on sale, it looks like you're getting a good deal, and your sense of urgency to buy the game goes up. On top of that, it gives Capcom free advertising for the games by keeping them in the sales catalog on the e-Shop and on the Nintendo website (and sites like Deku Deals), although that sales catalog is still entirely too bloated.
The true price points for Capcom games all along are the constant sales they throw out every other week. The Mega Mans, Onimusha and Okami go on sale every other week it seems like, and the Resident Evils, Monster Hunter Generations, and the Devil May Crys at least once a month. For Black Friday, they were all at least half-off.
I love Deku Deals. Not only for keeping up with sales without having to slog through the Switch menu or Nintendo's site without filters, but to also check price histories. I used to get suckered into weak sales early on, only to realize weeks or months later that I could have gotten the same games much later and with a better discount.
