Er, why did you call the 'knight character' a 'him' when it's a 'her'?

Podcast Discussion / Re: Episode 342: China Don't Care
« on: July 20, 2013, 06:04:04 PM »
There was a lot of talk about the $50 price on SMT: IV during this episode. I was under the impression that the increased retail price was due in part to the relatively fast release date in NA. It took around 2 months for IV to be released in North America (May 23 - July 16), which is considerably faster than the 5 months it took Persona 4 Golden to be released overseas (June 14th - November 20th). And if one wants to directly compare entries in the 'core' franchise, SMT: Strange Journey took 5 and a half months to be released here (October 8 - March 23), and Nocturne took almost 8 months to come over (and even more if you're counting the original release in Japan rather than the special edition version).
There was a lot of talk about how the extra $10 was justified by the goodies and extras one gets with the physical release, but do you think a faster release date overseas also helps to justify a price increase for what is a relatively niche franchise? (I know I sound like a gigantic nerd rattling off all these numbers, but I figured if I wanted to make this argument, I needed some data to back me up.
: ) Granted, this argument loses power the further we get from the release date, but at the moment, I feel it's still a bit valid.
