Next gen games $70?
With each generation the cost has gone up $10. For example:
Original Xbox/PS2: $50 per game.
Xbox 360/PS3: $60 per game.
So, is it safe to assume that the cost will increase to $70? Would you be willing to pay that much next gen?

That's not much data to support your hypothesis. Never the less, it would certainly limit the amount of games I decide to buy... to like one new one a year.

Edited by Ahhsenberg: 5/13/2013 9:53:37 PMI don't buy new games all that often, so I would be willing to pay more for a new game.

1 Reply$60's already damn high.

I have no issue with the price simply because financially speaking it does not damage to me. I don't like it because here is a lot (and I mean lot) of kids and other people who even though in the long run $70 is not a lot of money on it's own but it is when said kids (or whomever) that have to plan ahead because they don't get 70 bucks to blow. Again, personally speaking I can spend the money on a game (and if I don't like it) shelf it and not care. At 70, hell even 60 or 50 it's reasonable for people to want lots of replay value. I think the main problem is so many games feel the need to toss in mulitplyer and the cost of extra staff and upkeep of servers (I would assume) gets (for lack of a better term) taken out on the people who buy the games.

I would assume they would be $70 based on the pattern. It's even economically sound since this technology is new, high in demand, and probably costs a good amount of money to produce (assuming the content on these discs is higher than previous generations). So that being said, it's understandable. But I would only play that price for games I really want to play. Even then I'd probably wait a month or two for the price to drop.
-
I don't agree with the people who say that $70 is okay because it covers added next-gen production. Not every game needs to be a bloated $50 million blockbuster.
-
Sure i'll buy them. I'll just probably buy fewer of them.

Edited by Braydzz: 5/13/2013 5:06:05 PMI don't mind. Though I might be more selective with my games which is what I should start doing anyways.. I paid off all my preorders and the total was around $650..
-
I hope not.
-
I would still buy them for that price, but it would only be for a game in a series I like. Is there any reason why new games went from being $50 to $60?

Sony already said for the ps4 at least that they will still be 60.

My friends and I already don't buy new games, upping the price is stupid.

Edited by tntbabin: 5/11/2013 4:21:31 AMHonestly? I think 70+ dollars for a game is ridiculous. I think it's insane that people in other countries have to pay 70-100 dollars, I really don't wanna head down the same road. That said, would I pay 70$ for a game? As much as I hate to admit it, I probably would for certain games(Battlefield 4, the upcoming Zelda game, the upcoming Smash Bros. game) but I can gladly say that I'd refuse to spit up 70 dollars for most games that'll be coming out.
-
I think paying 60 dollars for a game is ridiculous already.
-
I remember N64 games being $80+. If anything, they've gone down.
-
I have a feeling it will be $80

Edited by Plain Ben: 5/10/2013 9:51:26 PMI'm sure new PS2 games were going for £40 mostly, when the 360/PS3 came out there were a handful of new games going at £50. I imagine the same would happen again next gen, but that would go stop after a bit.
-
7 RepliesWell Wii U games cost $60 so I don't see Microsoft and Sony beefing up the price and giving Nintendo the edge in pricing.
-
Edited by darthrevan96: 5/10/2013 8:13:50 PMProduction cost is exponentially higher. I can take an extra 10 dollars a game for that.
-
$60 is fine.
-
I used to pay $50 for SNES games back in the day.

2 RepliesSome Wii U games are £50 over here (which is $75).
