Some of you guys are hilarious! You literally know almost nothing about the game and yet you think that you can accurately set a price for it that would maximize sales or be "fair" for the amount of content.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

That is the way of life here on VGchartz.. the same people complaining the price is to high wouldn't think twice paying  60$ for a 5-6 hour game on PS4/One that they know even less about then this game.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Nice way to generalize. I don't buy garbage on any platform. Just because it's nintendo doesn't mean I'll pay more for less.

Price of the game depends on the content and resources needed to develop the game. Just because the game can be completed in 5-6 hours doesn't mean the game isn't worth 60$. Most of the nintendo games do not have/close to the budget like the Xbox/PS games and still their games are priced similar mostly and even their game prices doesn't drop faster too.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Nintendos games are usually pretty long and they have great replay value.

Which ones? Pikmin 3 was really short, DKCTF was short, shorter than DKCR actually. NSMBU was pretty short. The replay value in a lot of these games has to do with collecting stuff, something that other games get criticized for like Ubisoft open world games.

What time frame would you put on completeing these games (DK, NSMB, Pimin 3, etc)?  10 Hours?  20?  Less?  How many hours is worth X dollars?

Well if you collect everything in Tropical Freeze, you unlock hard mode, where you can play as Diddy, Dixie and Cranky.

If you collect everything, then probably 15-20 hours.

Yeah, I am not sure what people expect when they say games lasting that long aren't worth the value.
