'3DS games should be $25 or less'

[wraggster]

Nintendo needs to "change its business fundamentally", starting with dropping 3DS software prices to $25 (£15) or less.
That's according to M2 Research analyst Billy Pidgeon, who told IndustryGamers that selling heaps of hardware isn't enough. "Nintendo needs to change its business fundamentally ... Selling in hardware is important, but Nintendo must increase attach rates and third party opportunity dramatically," said Pidgeon.

He goes on: "Lower 3DS hardware prices only address part of the problem. It's more important to sell more software as packaged goods and paid digital downloads to each customer who buys a hardware unit."

Pidgeon adds: "I would like to see Nintendo cut the retail price of packaged software to a range of $20 to $25 for the 3DS. DS software should be $20 or less."

This comes after Nintendo recently announced a drastic 3DS price drop which will slash a third of its price barely six months into its lifecycle.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/314686/3ds-games-should-be-25-or-less/

No Mr.Pidgeon, they need to keep the prices as they are but make the games worth paying that much for, like what can't be found on these other "gadgets".

I have the 3DS but I've not bought a single 3DS format game for it. In fact, all I've used it for is to play Pokemon and the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX eStore downloadable title. Come on, bring on some more games with more content and quality without charging a big fortune!
