    Yes, if there’s no demand there would be no point in making the supply (the game)

      We’re talking about the prices of games that have already been made though. The supply of those specific games is infinite. We’re talking about the prices of certain games (old ones), not all games that are being released now.

      I do agree that it makes sense to Nintendo to sell the old games at a high price, but I think supply and demand is probably the wrong phrase.

        I’m talking about supply AND demand. If there is infinite supply and zero demand, there would be no point to rerelease these titles. Or they’d bring the price down. This is basic knowledge. If they can get that price for it, they will keep selling it for that price. It’s not rocket science.

        I’m not defending the price, I’ve bought plenty and felt dirty doing so lol.

          Well shit, what do you call what you’re doing? If all you wrote’s not a defense of their prices, what is it?
