In the EU we're always bitching about how US get better sales.

Anyway, I was refering to the new games. Really surprised people actually pay the inflated digital launch prices on PSN when they could get a physical copy for less (and probably delivered before launch).

How many games came out for the wii u the last 3 months? How many for the ps4/one?

When u have than much competition u have 2 Drop the price to be relevant a little bit more. This has nothing to do with quality as some people suggest.

It's not just the Wii U. 3DS, Wii, DS, Gamecube, GBA, N64, GB... Almost all games made by Nintendo on these platforms stayed at the same price for a long time. I bought LOZ: Twilight Princess for €60,- in 2010, for example.

Pokemon X and Y had multiple patches after launch, one of which was a bug that deleted save data.

OT.  The difference between Nintendo and the other publishers is not legs, it's greed.  Back on the PSX and PS2, many first and third party games sold incredibly well yet were still offered on the Greatest Hits budget line for $20 - $30.  Microsoft had their Platinum Hits line with the Halo series and other games being sold at budget pricing despite the high sales. 

There are games that just completely bomb that Nintendo drops the price, because why sit on 100,000 copies of a game that just people don't want?  How long was Glory of Heracles being sold $5 new before it actually sold out? 

What Nintendo does with their games that sell a reasonable amount but then stops selling, they don't drop the price and print more to get as many sales as possible.  Nintendo quits printing copies.  They'd rather not make anything at all than sell their games at a lower price.  Basically "Get N or go F yourself."  That's their real slogan.

loool at people saying legs and quality.

Yes Mario has ever green legs and Nintendo titles aren't as front loaded as other publishers but generally Nintendo maintain their price regardless of sales. Why is Pikmin, donkey kong, windwaker HD, Wonderful 101 etc more expensive then GTA 5 (360), when the later game continues to outsell them?

Clearly Nintendo think its more beneficial to maintain profit margins versus increasing sales with much lower margins profit margins. The only Nintendo games where price cuts would have very little to no effect is mainline Mario, Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8. It works for them no doubt, but it would nice to be able to find more bargains of 2 year old software without going 2nd hand.

Your first point makes little sense, since if that were true, other 3rd party games on Nintendo systems should follow suit.  It also doesn't make much sense since it wouldn't matter what other publishers do anyway.  

For the second point, the sales boost they would see from cutting the price would likely not result in increased profits for Nintendo.  While sales numbers may look good to some people, if they aren't making more money that way then why should they do it?  The more likely reason is that people will buy the games anyway, even if they don't drop in price.  If they drop the price, they wont suddenly see a 20-50% increase in weekly sales.  The way they do it now means more profits... at least for the games they DON'T drop.  However, it's been pointed out plenty of times already that Nintendo DOES cut the price of some of their games.
