Buying it used? That used to be the norm. Or getting it at the library for free.

I believe Nintendo (and other industry leaders) are going to find out that their old games are the going to be the competition to their new games. If it's too expensive and the old games are fun....there's enough of a backlog for people to play.

That and indies.
