Xbox One game pricing up to publishers, Phil Spencer says

Microsoft won't set the price for Xbox One games and will leave the price point of next-gen games up to publishers, Microsoft Studios' corporate vice president Phil Spencer told Polygon today.

Donnieboi3985d ago

Great so if they wanna do $70, then it's all good, huh? -_-

HyperBear3985d ago

Yeah pretty much!! It may not happen at launch, but once the XbOne has been out for a year or two, you'll slowly see them reaching $69.99 - $79.99.

Donnieboi3985d ago

Lol @ XbOne. I'm gonna use that from now one hahaha

Jake_the_Dog3985d ago

They would be really stupid to pull that shit in this type of economy.

They need to make digital prices lower then retail for once

LackTrue4K3985d ago

70 plus the 30 for seasons pass

"i still can believe they came up with DLC called "seasons pass"

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3985d ago

Even better, season passes don't cover all dlc. What the heck is the point of 'em?

some kind of compromise is going to be made regardless

EA: Make it 100 dollars
Microsoft: okay, we will add 200 on top of that.

stuna13985d ago

Naw! Each Xbox 1 will come with an expiration date that you will see once you go online the first time! Then it will take you to the Terms of Service agreement screen, from there after accepting their terms, it will take you to Credit card imformation screen, there you will be require to enter accurate imformation after that you're all done!

Until you recieve your credit card statement, and find out you've been billed for 14 consecative yearly payments of $69.00 with no option to decline.

Why not call it XboxEA at this point??
It all makes sense now, i knew EA was too evil to drop the online passes, and now the Fee for the used games and publishers set the price?? MS really needs to go

Loki863985d ago

So since you can trade and sell games online it will drive the price down for publishers thus leading to better deals for the consumer. At least that's how I interpret it, but I'll probably get downvoted because I said something positive.

thelaughingwiseman3985d ago

Not from me. I believe in rewarding sound logic. It seems like the Xbox is rewarding the fee's the users pay with services. They assume the average gamer demographic is still in their college years (sports, laziness, men) but the truth is, the Demographic of gamers have grown up. They used to be in the 18-24 range, but now they are the 25-30 age. These guys are more sophisticated. They don't multitask with one object, they have multiple advanced objects (high end pc, high end phone, high end TV). This is a great home entertainment, something guys busy living their lives can use.

More like something that is "never gonna happen"!

rainslacker3985d ago

Unfortunately if you leave control of the market in the publishers hands, then game prices will remain artificially high longer. Digital game prices now are at the discretion of the publisher, and because there is no competition digitally for them, the prices are usually much higher than retail.

The competition at retail is what keeps prices down. That and the fact that companies want to offload stock. Something that isn't a factor in digital distribution.

For the most part I haven't seen any of the major publishers actually thinking they should give a good deal to the consumer. It's more about whining that the consumer isn't supporting them, and then doing everything they can to force as much money from them as possible. Nothing this gen makes me think that publishers are on our side.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro4h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B1h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21831h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh1h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia1h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins1h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal1h ago

The first game was the best imo.

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho515h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise5h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19894h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows903h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno3h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA2h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
