Do Nintendo overcharge?

Most are barely cheaper here. More dev work put into PS3/360 games then Wii ones in general. And I was talking about consoles

That's a tough comparisson to make. More work (all over the board) generally goes into making a movie as well. Selling a single movie for $60 would be a hard sell, though. Items don;t necessarily sell based on the amount of work that goes into them. They sell based on what people will actually pay for them. If Nintendo can put less resources into a product that man view to be just as good (and for a while they did, perhaps not so much now), we tend to call them a successful business.
PS why did you change your name?

That a fair point. Actually now that you say that a good game should get more sales in the first place. Same goes for movies I guess.
Well they were successful for a time with their strategy, and got a big cash pile out of it. They arent providing essential goods/services either so I

Except for their first party stuff that remains at top price years after they come out. Mario Kart comes to mind. That game is still running for $50, even the versions without the wheel. Their third party stuff is cheap, but nobody wants that crap anyway.

Well you've said it in one. Crap 
Nintendo's games are good quality and they charge what people will pay for them!
A bit like Apple I suppose, but Apple are growing and Nintendo are not.
