catfight09: actually if you play the X-box 360, Playstation 3, or the Wii this affects you because this isn't just about the Vista or Mass Effect 3 this is about the WHOLE gaming industry. Most companies when they make video games are losing money when they sell their games at the current prices. It takes far more money to make a game, and if companies are not making their monthly sales then companies are going to start dropping projects and focus more on things that will make them money. That is how Nintendo started, believe it or not Nintendo was a company back in the 1800's. They first started as a card game company creating playing cards. By 1967 Nintendo had tried over a hundred different types of business including a taxi service. It wasn't until the late 1970's that Nintendo went into video games.
Now think about this for a second if it cost Nintendo $1 million to make 100,000 copies of lets say the new Zelda game that is coming out for both the Wii and the Wii U. Now these are not true numbers this is probably very very low but its just an example. Lets say they only for some strange reason only sell 6,000 copies of this Zelda game at $60 a piece. that is $360,000 subtract that from $1 million and Nintendo has lost a total of $9,640,000. Now lets say Nintendo puts out two new games a month with the same numbers as before, Nintendo for the year has just lost $231,360,000. So for 24 games Nintendo didn't bring any money in tell me would you continue to make video games knowing that you would not bring any money in? I think not, this is why this affect everyone not just one or two games that are made, because if Nintendo on of the leading game companies are taking this bad of a hit in my example. Then imagine what the smaller companies are taking for a hit. This is why prices won't go down they will go up if this continues so that way companies can break even.
Again this is only an example, these numbers are not correct numbers just hypothetical.
