EA CFO: Next-gen game prices not yet decided

4.7
EA CFO Blake Jorgensen says next-generation game prices are yet to be decided.

"Typically at the start of a cycle you've seen the pricing raised to, say, $69 for a core piece of software" He said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference today.
"And then over the life of those it's drifted down to an introduction price of around $59. We haven't yet set pricing on our gen-fours but you'll probably see a similar trend to that during the start of the next cycle" He added.

This comes after Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO - Jack Tretton - indicated that PS4 retail games will cost $60.

He also talked about the possibility of Battlefield 4 on next-gen consoles:
"I'd say between now and E3 you're going to see a lot of stuff from us. We're very excited about Sony's platform. The technical power on the platform is going to allow us to do a substantial amount of things we've never done before.

"I've seen the new Battlefield and it is stunning. It is just amazing what the imagination of the game developers are allowed to do with that much power"

ExoticWolfs Battlefield is the best war game of all time. In my opinion at least. So realistic, good graphics, everything is awesome on it. :)


Yeah, it looked great on this gen, but imagine how much more beautiful it will look on the next gen. PS4 XboxX8

I really don't care I'm fine with paying for 70 or 80 dollars for a long beautiful looking game.

So they're trying to convert people to download titles, yet they'll cost more? With no logistic, packaging, disc/manuals...

Who are these crack heads that make the rules?

What happened to keeping the prices the same as the previous console?

KelcyPosted:

I reckon they should keep it in the range they are in now or cheaper but chances of that happening are slim

LissandraPosted:

I really hope they don't go over board with the prices...

MsFluttershy So right now, $60 is roughly 80 british pounds.

We're paying about 49.99 pounds for a game at the moment, which means about $61.

Quit your b*tching.


Think you got your conversions wrong there lad, more like 80 dollars is 60 quid
