Swamperon replied first but I'll leave mine.

Anyways, the only games I see holding their value is, like others have mentioned, a few collector's editions, a few early release PSP games with a somewhat low print, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Star Wars Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition, and Tetris DS.

The reason why "some" limited editions hold their value is that: They're actually limited print runs, Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition. You could only win them, Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition. Or my least favorite but happens quite often, released in only one area and is limited, like Yakuza 4 Kuro Edition.
This argument about Nintendo first party games is just no longer accurate. For the past two years or so, every Nintendo first party game has been on sale between Amazon, Toys R Us, Best Buy or Target multiple times. In fact, the most recent Metroid is $20 as Amazon's deal of the day today. Sin & Punishment 2 has been under $20 for months at multiple retailers. Animal Crossing hit as low as $7.50 at Target on clearance a few months back. While Nintendo doesn't permanently reduce MSRP generally, they are clearly allowing retailers to give massive discounts on their first party titles on a regular basis. I really don't think there will be any "valuable" games from this generation as everything including the vast majority of the CE/LE/SE's were massively overproduced and more importantly, lots of people are collecting modern games meaning there will be lots of copies out there down the road in very nice shape.
