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"

Compliance I feel like they should remain at $50-$60, but they will probably go overboard, like $100


I wouldn't think so, maybe for big names in the game industry but they shouldn't for anything else IMO.


your right they shouldn't. but it will most likely be $100 for a new CoD.


The new cod won't be worth $100 just saying...


$100 for new COD? Won't sell.

Soulful I'm fine with paying the $60 we have been paying for years, although I wish they would go for cheaper with the new consoles, much rather than more.


Yeah, this price sounds reasonable for me though.

Zwrq I think they should be $70-$80 USD.


No, too expensive for a video game.


Yeah, i think it should remain at $50-$60.


I can't say no to a price drop though.


yeah true


Ya, but they will be on a whole new level, it might be reasonable to price them so high..
