While that is probably the case, one can hope. Just think of all the money Nintendo could make if they put all their 3DS games on sale for 50% off before the 3DS eshop closes. All of these Altus and Sega games are top sellers right now on the 3DS eshop. It shows that if you put games on sale before the store closes people will buy them.
I'm partaking big time and I'd have to agree. It's the FOMO before the eShop closes. Only the late and those with no interest/money would sit it out.
