How did we do? Spot on.
From the date of our prediction, the loose price decreased from $179 to $137 (-20%).
Some gamer's decided to buy the eShop version instead of the cartridge. So demand decreased a bit. There are lots of collectors out there who are willing to pay a premium for the original, which explains why prices didn't collapse.
This 20% decrease compares to a 40% decrease for Marvel vs Capcom 2 a year after its virtual release.

You should do a follow up on Suikoden II as well, with it's release being a big deal on PSN. :)
Not surprised in the drop. What I thought was surprising over the year was how close in value EVO and Earthbound are at times.
@mrcrimpbiscuit - Has Suikoden II been confirmed for PSN? Last I heard it had an ESRB rating but I didn't hear anything about actual release date.
My guess is Suikoden II is closer to Earthbound than Marvel vs Capcom 2 in terms of change we will see from virtual release.
Some people might pay $100 to play Suikoden II, but I'm guessing most of them are collectors judging by the high price and the large price difference between loose and CIB.
