What you just said is wrong.  Simple as.  

I just told you not all quality titles by Nintendo that are still at a high price sell well.  So that theory of yours is incorrect.  

I know people will say the Wii U is a secondary console that compliments their pc/ps4/X1 but it's a bloody expensive one when you factor in the ridiculous game prices.  

List all the Wii U games that are currently selling great long after release.  There's a handful.  Not many at all.  So why are the games that aren't selling well at rip off prices? 

Not when you factor the relation quality/price though.

And no, what I said is indeed a fact, Nintendo has always donde this, with or without competition, because for the most part they keep selling for a long time, and they keep that model for all their games, because even if a 20% does not have legs, the other 80% have.

The sales dont back your claim.  What wii u games that are out a long time are selling well that can justify the absurd price?  splatoon,  mario kart 8, yoshi,  mario 3d and smash.  

That's 5 games.  FIVE.  

There are so many wii u games that are old and either always sold like crap or are selling like crap now because they're old.  

Yet Nintendo refuses to drop the price and rip off or deter any late comers to the system. 

I guess we're ignoring the 3DS here then, which does in fact have competition from a number of third parties and yet Nintendo games still retain their value.

Oh look, Pokemon X/Y and ORAS still retail for about $40. Animal Crossing: New Leaf for about $30. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for $30. Then you have third party games, Story of Seasons is $40. Persona Q for $50. Professor Layton & The Azran Legacy is still $40. Seems it's just not Nintendo, huh? And this is with competition.

Maybe the fact that Until Dawn can be found cheap now is because of the value regarding the game. It's not exactly something that can be replayed a bunch of times by the average consumer. It's very much like a movie, most people are done with the first viewing. Word of mouth was great for the game at first but it's kind of died down now since there's not much else to talk about, thus the need to cut the price to retain interest. It isn't just due to competition. If it was, Rayman Legends wouldn't be $35 and GTAV wouldn't be $40.

Word to the wise, paying full price for a game is never a bad thing when the game is of high quality. And this goes for any game, not just Nintendo games.

Sorry?

And the exact same is gonna happen with SMM and Yoshi, and the same will hapen to Twilight Princess HD, Pokken, Star Fox and Zelda U.

Those are the majority of games they personally released on the system!

Good on them. Goes to prove that MS isn't a greedy corp destroying the industry like most fanboys think. In Fact if not brought out by MS or brought by Sony there wouldn't be a WiiU version. MS really do respect Nintendo, after all they released gameboy titles in the past.

I've named 5 titles that are currently selling OK to well. 

No other old titles are selling well currently. They may have sold well in the past but not now which proves the point they need price cuts.  

Is not about the total number of sales, is about how much they grow with time, they all keep growing without a price cut so they dont need a price cut. Is their model and it has always worked like that, they will eventually get cheaper, but they grow anyways so until they lose all their potential for sales they are gonna keep a very similar price.  And the old games of that list are still selling, SM3DWorld is from 2013 and has sold like 700k this year, and it will be more once the holidays are over. The only one that is getting something similar to a price cut is NSMBU that now comes together with NSMLU for the price of 1. That's it. And is mostly because NSMBU is the oldest game of the console.

Lol, the xbox console brand is not dead. With or without minecraft 2, the xbox brand is still strong enough to stay alive.

Likewise, Minecraft has more potential in working on other platforms. This is an IP that could really rival the likes of mario, pokemon, gta, or cod in sales. The last thing microsoft would want to do is limit its possibilities for growth.
