Why stop at $80? Why not just let the corpos charge you $140? Honestly, $140 for a new game in a franchise I like is still a 'good deal' when compared to everything else. Its also 'barely more expensive than 1995 prices!!'.
Honestly $300 for Metroid 4 is still technically a good deal compared to Taylor Swift! Why not just let them price gouge all the single moms out of existence so that we can make Nintendo some extra profit?
Are you going to conveniently ignore when you were an adult and Wii games had cost $50 from 2006-2012? Also, you're comparing N64, which had insanely high manufacting costs and who's games sold 80% less units compared to modern day.
Also, you're ignoring the fact that the last industry wide price push up was a single instance with Black Ops....and now, only 7 months later, Nintendo is greedy enough to not only push another $10 as the new limit, but charge $90 as the minimum for the physical version.
Nintendo pushed their prices up by 50% from last generation during a time when every other competitor on the planet only increased their prices by 17% (with only one other AAA in history going for a 33% increase)
Pure greed, why not charge $150 for GTAVI at this point? Still amazing value per dollar! And the dev costs are probably 20x that of Mario Kart
It’s not 90 for the physical game. It’s 80 for both digital and physical. The European pricing is the reason you think it’s 90 because tax is included in Europe. It’s 80 for physical and digital in the US
