Could PS4 games really be £65/$100?
Clicking the link above ^ will direct you to the Amazon.com page for Watch_Dogs, where you can select the version you want based on which console you want. The current-gen console versions will set you back around $60, the standard asking price for a game, but the PS4 version is shown as being a whopping $99.99. Granted the page appears to have a placeholder release date, but it's the first PS4 game that's been given a price on the site.
Could we really be looking at £65/$100 games? Here's hoping this really is just a placeholder...
Further investigations reveal [url=http://www.edge-online.com/news/ps4-games-will-cost-no-more-than-60/]this article[/url] which states [i]"Sony is aiming for a ceiling price of $60 for headline PS4 releases"[/i], but this simply says they will "aim for" the price. What are the odds the ceiling could be a colossal $100? Amazon representatives have commented on Facebook that the price is in fact just a placeholder, as they don't know the full cost just yet. We'll have to keep our eyes open on this one methinks.

I think at the least they'll shoot for a $10 increase to $70 for headliner releases in the next gen. I wouldn't buy a game for $100 standard edition. It would just put more use on the used game market, essentially if games were that high I wouldn't be surprised at a decrease in game sales and used games, since people don't want to sell them back for a mere fraction of the cost.

The demand is for better graphics, more options, and more features, yet no one wants to pay for it. An increase in graphical fidelity means more man-hours, and if they want to keep game production within a reasonable time-frame that means hiring more people. You can't seriously expect coders to work twice as fast as they already do just to produce more content for you - more people are needed. You all want these things, but no one wants to pay... New release 360/PS3 titles are already $100+ in Australia :)

Welcome to Australia.

3 RepliesWould you buy a standard game for $100? I know my only purchases would be Destiny, Halo, and maybe Gears of War. I would absolutely NEVER buy a new franchise game for $100. $60 is already incredibly expensive. I know many games have replay value that exceeds the $60 price tag but for the most part most games are worth $40 at best. That's why most games drop in price quite quickly. If PS4 games started at $100 you would see price drops within the first week followed by every release start at $70(at the very very worst). Could you imagine trying to sell hardware when their is the current gen 360, PS3, and WiiU selling games for $40 cheaper?

Nobody would buy the PS4 unless they were millionaires, i doubt they're stupid enough to do that.

Sony confirmed PS4 games will cost from $0.99 to $59.99 (special editions aside). That's what Jack Tretton, CEO of SCEA, says.

This has already been a topic before... But I'll explain it again. They need to over price the game, they're doing it on purpose. Because if they price it at $50 and when it's actually announced it's $60, they have to ship all of the pre-orders that were made at the original $50 for that price which would mean they lose $10 for every early pre-order that was made.
