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"

Mazur they should keep the prices at $64, even though it's still overpriced..


I would rather they keep the prices neutral rather than raise them.
Well since it's going to be games for the new console of course they're going to raise the prices a bit higher to get more money.


that's what i'm saying, like at first it would be higher priced games then eventually lowered


So much money... it'll cost a fortune to own one of these.

NaughtyNuts Hopefully they are pretty cheap.


I doubt they will go too cheap, I've heard the price range is $0.99-$60, which I think is great.


i think that's kinda cheap, since they are next-gen


i heard that was the price range

Yeah, that's a fact. Well for the 720 at least. Sony have leaked or rumored their prices, which range between 99 cents and 60 dollars. I don't believe that though.

Zeta I don't think they should make the cost too much.


I don't think anyone wants increased prices, but that won't stop them from slowing raising it.
