Because there's demand for the product in your country.

WiiU bombed hardcore in UK so this is not surprising. Here in Canada, Nintendo games are very rarely discounted.

I turned into jelly after seeing that. T.T

I'd love to see it. I do kind of miss my retro collection. I used to have a collection from like 25 years worth of gaming. But when my dad got a terminal illness a few years ago, we took the decision to sell it all so that he could use the money to pay to do things with my mum while he was still able to, it also helped to pay for my wedding, so now it's kind of going back to square one lol. Do still have  alot of older consoles etc, but with how good emulation has become and all the constant re-releases on PSN etc, I don't think I'll bother going back into the older stuff. Sadly dad passed away 3 months ago, but hey, at least it paid for quite a few holidays etc. for them to make the most of the time they had.

I'll have to see if I can find any pics from when the collection was at it's peak. But I do have a soft spot for Nintendo, it's the gaming I grew up with :)

The Vita has become my guilty pleasure from a collecting perspective right now. It's issue of "no games" makes it a perfect one for a completist thing :D add in that most the games are actually decent and I think it's my next Dreamcast :D

Are there citations? I didn't bother reading the whole thread, I thought those kind of things where more fitting to put on the OP.

I know what this thread is though, it's a clear copy from rol's thread. Only it's done with anecdotal evidence instead of real evidence.

If you where trying to be serious.. well that's even more funny. The timing of your thread is what gives it away though, you posted this thread exactly a couple of hours after his thread and even use part of his title thread in yours.

Thank you very much, I did not know this.

I am an active member of my Union and should at least have suspected that it was to good to be whitout problems.

In fairness, this is one retailer in the UK. I could find one retailer in the US doing this. The Wii U is chugging along in sales in most countries at this point. The UK particularly though is a black spot for the Wii as it is missing the golden games from the UK Fifa and the COD/FPS clones.

Also of note is the fact that when i lived in Ireland which is close to the UK I bought a gamecube because I could get games for dirt cheap for it. Nintendo was always the lesser company in certain countries.

smash and mk8 are the last hope.
but i think it wont change the things so much.

The wording is taken from Rol's thread, which I actually loved for the record. However I was originally planning posting this at the weekend when I got the games as I was in utter shock seeing DK reduced. (I wasn't planning buying it until I had finished 3D World and Sonic Lost World)

If you want to continue to believe someone who has owned pretty much every console and still goes completely multi format has an ulterior agenda for Sony, fair enough. That's your own paranoia and whatever helps you sleep at night. But given I pre ordered a Wii U premium system, and I don't know if you can see, but also paid full retail (£44.99) for Zombi U. I really don't see why I would take actual pleasure in seeing one of my consoles crash and burn.

I guess it's difficult for people who are only able to champion a single system to understand that some people actually love gaming rather than console wars and there isn't always an ulterior motive.

ehm u dont discount new games because u want to move em OUT of the shop, u discount em to lure people INTO ur shop...
