It Doesn't Make Sense to Buy Games at Launch

[V-r0cK]

If you're talking about digital games or Nintendo games (cause they keep the launch price regardless of how old the game is lol) then sure, it's fine to wait.

But if you're a physical game buyer then waiting isn't always the best choice.

(copy/paste my reply from your post in the RE4 Gold article)

Buying physical games these days have become a struggle. This gen, I've noticed most physical games disappear off shelves after a year or so tops, like its gone before the price even dropped. After that they stop printing and hope gamers would just buy from the online store, increasing profit cutting the middle man out.

So you're left battling yourself whether to pick up the game at launch (or sometime after), or hope for it to drop in price and pick it up then before it disappears.

This mostly pertains to 3rd party games as 1st party games likely will try to keep a steady flow in stock to keep supporting their console.
