I’m not defending Nintendo, game pricing or whatever, but “begs the question why they’ll remain higher”? Really?

You can’t think of any reason why a physical product that has to be manufactured, shipped, unpacked, stocked, and sold by people would cost more than a download?

Game pricing has become obscene and there is no way on God’s great earth I’m dropping $80 on any game, but I think a $10 lower price point makes some sense. I’d love it to be more.
