As WWSM sells many times the amount of copies that OOTP does, it is not quite a fair price comparison. With most of the production/development costs for a computer software title incurred by product release date, profit is significantly higher on a per unit basis for WWSM as a result of the volume difference. They can afford to price the software cheaper. It's why products put out by small companies generally cost more than the competition. The best spaghetti sauce costs $8 a jar at my supermarket; Ragu costs $2.50.
