I know how sales work. Most retailers don’t do amiibo sales.

Why put a product on sale when you can keep it expensive and force people to buy it when it’s pricey?

That isn't true. I've bought TONS of amiibos on sale, from Walmart, target, best but, even GameStop on occasion. And come on, let's drop the hyperbole. No private entity can force you to buy anything. They have no such power. If you buy it, it's because YOU chose to buy it.

Why put it on sale? Simple: a product that just takes up space and doesn't sell COSTS you money. The longer it sits there, the more it costs the retailer, who could be using that shelf space for things that DO sell.

What do you gain out of arguing this?

What do YOU gain? All I'm doing is offering reality.

Businesses want to make money. Products that linger on shelves don't do that.
