big mistake putting that rabbit game at 1200. it's a new ip. i get they want to maximize profits, but they are surely not going to maximize units sold this way
800 should be the default. you make 5 bucks less profit on each, but you will probably sell more than three times as many copies. since there's no overhead on digital downloads besides the cost of getting the data to the purchaser, there's no excuse for this time after time. i've taken operations management and there is a handy equation that will even tell you if this is more profitable, and it's not.
then again maybe these 1200 point games are selling well and i'm just being ignorant. all i see it as is them charging more for it initially, then putting it on sale if it doesn't sell well which is when everyone buys it. so it's a smart strategy, but they could have made more initial funds by putting it on for 800 and not having a sale, since people are more likely to buy a new release at 800 than an old game on sale for 800. |

I'm buying Marvel Origins anyways but I'll be the first to tell you that both games are (IMHO) only worth 400msp a piece. I say that and I'm still buying it at 1200 guess I'm a hypocrite hahaha |

| im almost certain they do it because they can put it on sale if it doesn't sell well, they're trying to get as much out of it as they can. it's a smart move but again, they'd sell way more initially this way and through word of mouth (if the game is good) it'd sell a lotttt quicker |

Marvel vs Capcom Origins does not have X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, or X-Men: Children of the Atom.
Fuck that.
Hell Yeah! for me then. |

They almost invariably go on sale eventually anyway. 1200msp is $20nzd locally for me. For those prices I can buy full retail games from two years ago from online stores. |

Meh, I need to buy one of those newer controllers for fighter games. Why the xbox controller had a retarded d-pad is beyond me but I do like the newer ones and haven't had a reason yet to get one and I can see why they're pushing fighting games now.
P.S.
1200 msp games are the norm now. Stop being cheap idiots and pay for the ones you'll enjoy and stop crying about prices when all you care about are achievements that mean nothing in the end. Buy the game you enjoy and do the achievements for it as achievements aren't a goal but a helpful way to show you what you've missed from a game. |

But I'm more willing to take a chance on a 400 or 800 point game. |
