I think that the Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 collection is a bit too much. Excellent games though and I’ll still buy them at launch.

As for games getting quick price cuts hurting the game industry, I don’t really see that to be honest. The game industry seems to be making more money then ever and a lot of games sell incredibly well out of the gate. Especially from companies like Capcom and Nintendo. Hell I’d be willing to bet that the games that sell the most tend to get the fewest and least drastic price cuts.

Any opinions on the other part of my post?

I made the argument in the comments that the real issue is that we as gamers expect all games to sharply drop in price mere weeks after release, which has skewed our value perception and is not beneficial to the industry.  Opinions are divided.  LOL

Screw that, I want all games to drop in price.

When I look back at the prices of old Nintendo games which never depreciate, its stopped me from picking up certain titles I've wanted to try.

What they have to realise is that curious gamers may buy a game on sale they never would have at full price. Then if they like it they may be there day 1 on the sequel.

But if they never get that entry point, they will never get into the series.

I agree with Archie.
