They're damned if they do because it's too little too late and most of their carts are just a keyed license to the game and not the game itself anyways, which kinda' begs the question why they'll remain higher priced. They're damned if they don't because people don't have as much disposable income as they used to and Nintendo is wonderful at not enticing anyone with new IPs these days anyways.

They've hoarded their wealth too long, and now they get to pay the price, one way or the other.

    I'm not defending Nintendo, game pricing or whatever, but "begs the question why they'll remain higher"? Really?

    You can't think of any reason why a physical product that has to be manufactured, shipped, unpacked, stocked, and sold by people would cost more than a download?

    Game pricing has become obscene and there is no way on God's great earth I'm dropping $80 on any game, but I think a $10 lower price point makes some sense. I'd love it to be more.
