Very few games in previous generations have ever maintained their value and as several of us have pointed out, regardless of Nintendo's previous stance on maintaining MSRP, it doesn't change the fact that on Amazon and at retail, most Wii games have been on sale over the past few years. Metroid Other M has repeatedly been on sale at Amazon, including during launch week. It has also been on sale at Best Buy repeatedly. MSRP may not be falling, but almost any Wii game can be found for well below MSRP easily.
This isn't about when these games are still available (new) from retail. The topic was about titles from this generation that will hold, or increase their value over many years, or even a decade.

I could have had a second, or third copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for $20, when Toys R Us was clearing them out, but I didn't see the need to own additional copies, because there was no such thing as Ebay at the time. The same could happen for a game like Sin and Punishment 2, if it didn't really get a huge print run.

I believe what Kellhus was talking about, was what games could he buy today, that would be worth more years after these consoles are dead at retail.
