Another thread about this? Do you really think Sony wants to drop the price of its games? First of all if it was too expensive people wouldn't buy it, which is not the case for many of Nintendo's games especially NSMB just look at sales. Second, if the price was actually inflated the used price would not be inflated. LBP being better is subjective, but the market in general doesn't agree with LBP being better. It is selling much less copies and dropping in price much faster.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Whether or not one game is better than the other has nothing to do with pricing. Nintendo and Sony are trying to run a business. When your product is in demand, you can charge a premium for it. When your product starts to slip from the spotlight, you drop the price to boost sales. Obviously Nintendo is very happy with NSMB sales and sees no reason to lower the price. Sony sees LBP sales dropping below what they'd like to see and drops the price to increase sales. That's just how business works.


Quoted because it's right.

Nintendo have been doing this since forever, this is nothing new. If something sells why bother lowering the price? I imagine that's their mentality.

I'm happy for you and I'm gonna let you finish, but Nintendo owns some of the most iconic, universally celebrated characters of all time.

Your reply is about as foreign to me as the man in your picture.
