Kotaku - On CNBC last night, Sony CEO Jack Tretton implied that games for the company's newly-announced PlayStation 4 won't retail for more than $60.
"We're gonna welcome free-to-play models, games from 99 cents up to those 60 dollar games," he said. Later, he added: "We'll justify that $60 price point."
That might come as welcome news to gamers who expected another $10 price jump like the one we saw last generation, when $50 PS2 games led way to $60 PS3 games. But is a $60 price point really sustainable?
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
Exophobia is brings back classic alien blasting today with a new demo on PC and eventually with a full release on July 23.
Its too much! some games plays 6 hours... and pay 60$ for it is too much, games should be in different prices based on quality, popularity, genre etc... also compared to regular random Blu-ray movies vs games... some games like GTA5 might get price 70$ for me, if latest WRC game will be worth 25$.. then im ok with it... but all games for 60$, not so good.. but not the worst.. it seems at least we will get used game market ....
I was expecting a price jump. Granted, $60 is still a large sum, but it's the same as last gen. Not much to complain about, considering the jump in performance we'll get.
...I just realized I'm already calling this generation "last gen"... Sigh.
If the prices go up, the sales will go down....it's just if they will still make enough sales to make it worth it.
Thankfully not, because they're not going to raise the price.
Jack is such a cool person... would love to talk to him in person one day...but I doubt I'll ever get the chance :(
