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"

The prices of games have peaked, if they go up i'm going to ditch console and get a computer so I can torrent all the games for free. Anything more than $60 is a bit too much for me.

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

DubleJayJ Who else agrees the new battlefield is going to look so **** awesome? EA is god when it comes to graphics.


If its on the new consoles, then yes, but they are using all they can on BF3 for current consoles.

Unless the new xbox is released in the summer, battlefield will most likely be a current gen game. Therefore it will probably be considered crappy compared to the games that will be coming out with the next-generation xbox.

Battlefield 4 beta will be coming out sometime this fall.
