The truth is the two strategies that work in down markets is to cut to the bone to lower price and burn up goodwill to try to make it until there is something you can jump to later and to go upmarket where people are less price sensitive and margins can accommodate it.

But, the latter is much harder as a road and has a lower success ratio and needs a LOT more investment so risk is higher. So, yeah. Like I said in the OP, I don't expect it. But I would welcome it (while feeling like a rich asshole who can afford to risk $40 on a game and an old skeleton who remembers that's how it always used to be)

I may be letting some of my feeling about the Nintendo pricing reaction bleed over here, so feel free to throw salt on what I say.
