@NintndoNik I'm not really making any points here about Capcom but it's entirely quite a different situation here in Europe. Where as I said prices are in fact inflated for their digital equivalents, Mario Odyssey released here and was purchasable at around just over £40 physical but was priced at £59.99 digital. I didn't realize the situation was quite so different across the pond. Personally I'd like to believe better of Capcom but who really knows. Thanks for the video recommendation.
@NintndoNik Sorry, Did I make an assumption. I agree completely with your thought process here and I'm a little annoyed too. This is likely to not differ pricing through regions and because other regions will receive physical we get the heavily inflated prices. Unfortunately this has a lot to do with Nintendo, Nintendo intentionally makes it more alluring to get your products physical with inflated digital pricing, which unfortunately is policy.
These questions should really be pointed at Nintendo's policy regarding digital and physical pricing parity, I'm sure it's been outlined here before but Nintendo require pricing to be higher for digital games when they have matching physical products. I'd imagine this is more because of Nintendo's policies.
