EA CFO: Next-gen game prices not yet 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.

SOGThe usual price is $60 for a new game, but I do hope they don't raise the prices too high.SoulfulWoobie I'd say $70 would sound realistic.
I would pay $70, but anything above that is too much.
Well, that's the usual price, I was hoping for them to drop it a bit more.
