Message: [QUOTE="Bomberman, post: 170690, member: 289732"] The price of the system to me is a little high but not outrageous. I have seen people defend the increase in price of games saying but N64/SNES games. Well with those games cartridges were very expensive to manufacture so the price got passed to the consumer. Even CDs being cheaper had the data on the disc. The reason for digital game prices being raised substantially is irredeemable especially since that extra profit won't trickle down to the devs but largely remain with the suits. Nintendo games rarely go on sale digitally as well. Sony and Microsoft pushed the price of digital games and emboldened Nintendo to do the same. There is a reason many people are turning to PC gaming and it is the more fairly priced games. Not many people enjoy having to tinker with settings and the UI of windows but its a bullet they are willing to bite for a more consumer friendly environment. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony should be ashamed of themselves for working together to push anti consumer practices. If you want to eliminate physical game sales than do it. Do not mislead customers into thinking they have full game data on disc/cart. If you are going to raise the price pass the profit onto the people that actually develop the games and pour their soul into making what we love. However most these workers just want gamers to enjoy their games (there are far more profitable venues to make money for those gifted with programming skills). I am not saying they don't want to be paid more (who doesn't), I just don't think many devs agree with this price increase either. [/QUOTE]
