Wait, there’s competition between retail channels? Great, I’m looking forward to getting the next major AAA game for a discount at Target due to this so-called competition with Wallmart.
Just kidding. It’ll be $59.99 at both stores. There is, practically speaking, no competition in the retail space either.
- wincy 6y agoBut Walmart does offer a discount, Walmart sells most new Nintendo Switch games for $49.99 rather than $59.99.
- falcolas 6y agoThat's a function of it being a Switch game, not a Walmart discount. They'll be the same price at Target. Nintendo Switch titles tend to cap at $50, not $60.
- TimothyBJacobs 6y agoWhere are you getting that from? Nearly every "large" switch title has a price of $60. Including ones that are years old. https://www.nintendo.com/games/game-guide/?pv=true#filter/:q=&dFR[platform][0]=Nintendo%20Switch https://www.nintendo.com/games/game-guide/?pv=true#filter/:q...
- falcolas 6y agoFair enough - I personally recall seeing a lot of titles at the $49.99 price point, but the Nintendo store itself is infinitely more accurate. It doesn't change the underlying point, however.
- TimothyBJacobs 6y agoNo, it doesn't because if you purchase thru Walmart.com they are offering some titles "below" the retail price by Nintendo and Target.
