I thought it was practice for games to sell a million at least before they got ‘re-issued’. Perhaps I was wrong.
Resistance, Motorstorm, and others for $20? And Grand Theft Auto 4 for $20?
DS games are more expensive than that.
And Nintendo’s Wii launch games are still $50 if they are still in stock.
This leak in value on the software side on the HD Twins parallels their hardware. It shows that eventually, the HD consoles will both become cheaper than the Wii. The Wii will remain at full price, just as its software remains at full price, while the HD Twins continue to decline.
The thought of Wii and its software at a higher price outselling or selling at the same rate as the HD Twins and their games is a delicious thought. Oh, the forums will go nuclear. The market will be saying that the Wii is of more value than the HD Twins. And there is no possible way to spin that.
I can’t think of a time when such different prices were evident among game consoles. This is clearly the result of Nintendo following the “Blue Ocean Strategy” and competing against disinterest and not their competitors.
