Are low price apps threatening the gaming industry?

Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime sure thinks so. He recently spoke with GameTrailers on the subject.

"I actually think that one of the biggest risks today in our industry are these inexpensive games that are candidly disposable from a consumer standpoint," says Fils-Aime.

"I actually think some of those games are overpriced at one or two dollars but that's a whole different story," he joked.

"Angry Birds is a great piece of experience but that is one compared to thousands of other pieces of content that for one or two dollars I think actually create a mentality for the consumer that a piece of gaming content should only be two dollars,” Reggie warned.

We've had our own heated debates on the topic here at VGP but what do you guys & gals think?
