Game retail watchers can’t help but note that the price offered for second hand copies of Final Fantasy XIII has plummeted to about $15, despite the game initially retailing at almost $100. Top second-hand game seller Geo’s
price list shows they are offering a paltry 1,500 for the game, which was released at ¥9,240:
The same list shows the much older
Perfect Tales of Vesperia to be worth more than twice as much as Final Fantasy XIII, with Geo offering ¥3,100 for it; indeed, there is no RPG being bought up so cheaply.
Low demand and high supply are presumably at fault here, for reasons which by now are
painfully obvious.
