Why Nintendo Games Retain Value

$50 for Metroid: Other M. Today. You read that right!


Have you ever noticed that the price for Nintendo games just DON’T ever drop? They sit on store shelves for years and cost the same amount that they did at launch time. It’s kind of crazy, especially when compared to the rest of the industry. Nintendo also just released their first Mario game on mobile, and it costs a whopping $10 – incredibly high compared to most of the bargain offerings on that platform. How is it that Nintendo is able to stand apart from the competition and charge more?
