| I'd be interested to hear Nintendo's reasoning (although I probably never will). Obviously they considered a range of options. Are they really making more money releasing a few games a week at $5 or so instead of having a huge library of $2 games? Man, I'd be grabbing those by the handful. It would have been consistent with their low-cost populist strategy. |
I think the idea is something like this. Say I want a 3d adventure game and both Mario 64 and DK 64 are available - i'm probably going to just buy Mario. If only DK 64 is available now I may buy it to satisfy my need right now and still buy Mario when it is released.
Basically people tend to filter and only get the best of a large library while limited releases make them consider more mediocre titles. Launch games are often the same. |
