Personally, I find that this 80% reduction is a little stupid...we're forgeting many things here.....first let's go back on the nintendo 8-bit days. What do we have? Oh right, the time where you could make these bad looking game and still make ton of profit!! Also, when you are a compagny that wanna make game of the console, who do you have to call for..............
1)Allow it to goes out in the first place. Yep, nintendo asked a big amonth of your profit only for that purpose...........
2)Have the damn cartridge to put your game in? Not like these DVDs everyone make for the cheaper price............
Back in that time, Nintendo wasn't only the biggest game maker, it was also the one the received ton of money from other compagnies....wich isn't the case right now. That'll explain the ton of profit back then..........
Also (talking about game), just one little detail that not many seen to have noticed. Did you ever noticed how much game Sony and Microsoft make? Sure, microsoft "bough" Halo and rare (Sony.....erm....no comment), but we can't forget the ton of game nintendo is making right now. Not only that, It's almost the only compagny that doesn't make "trash" game : Zelda, Metroid, F-zero, Pokemon, Fire emblem, all these annoying sport Mario is still good at despide is belly and many "many" other.........
Personally, I wonder why this news came out in the first place....
