| IcaroRibeiro said: I don't know about US, but retailers are selling the game for much lower than 70/60 USD for a while (I got mine for 48% of the digital launch price) This is the first time I've seen a Nintendo game being sold for half of the price barely 4 months after its release. I've seen some posts stating it's also receiving deep discounts in Japan |
Same in the UK, although unless these discounts are also on the Nintendo storefronts then these are mostly likely retailers just trying to get rid of stock. And then there is a combined effect of the Switch version bringing down the price of the S2 one. The game sales leaned heavily on S2 (like 80% at launch) which makes me think S1 was very over supplied. Since the upgrade path is only $10, if you sell the S1 version for $30, it doesn't make sense to sell the S2 version for more than $40.
As far as charts go, I've been following the UK figures where its stayed in the retail charts (top 40) longer then any recent Metroid. Last week it was 25, week before that it was 37. These aren't huge number but they are legs which can add up to very solid numbers over the years. For now it's still one of the only "AAA" Switch 2 exclusives, so I think it will keep legging it out if its made it this far.
