Rumour: Nintendo Planning to Offer Discounts for Game Recommendations?

[Yoshiman222]

For example, until now it has been taken for granted that software is offered to users at the same price regardless of how many titles they purchase in a year, be it one, five or even ten titles. Based on our account system, if we can offer flexible price points to consumers who meet certain conditions, we can create a situation where these consumers can enjoy our software at cheaper price points when they purchase more. Here, we do not need to limit the condition to the number of software titles they purchase. Inviting friends to start playing a particular software title is also an example of a possible condition. If we can achieve such a sales mechanism, we can expect to increase the number of players per title, and the players will play our games with more friends.

Could this mean, regarding that we play enough of Nintendo's games in the first place, that we could achieve "loyalty prices" on select games by simply recommending titles to other players?
Could they receive a discount as well?

Buy loads and recommend a lot for cheaper games overall? Sounds like something I'd really want! ;D
We should tell the whole world of this!

I buy plenty of games from Nintendo on a yearly basis nowadays, so if this does come into fruition, I would take advantage of it for other games at a cheaper price.

And inviting other friends to play a "particular software title" would really help others. Like I would be able to help Yoshiman222 or SuperZambezi to get into a game that I would enjoy. Then they could do the same to me, too.

How is it a rumor if you have a direct quote from Iwata?

...

Anyhow if they do promotions like this:

that'd be pretty dope.
