Analyst: PS4 and next-gen Xbox games will cost $70

4.6
Michael Pachter, a well known game financial analysts who works at Wedbush Securities made a prediction this weekend at a panel at the the South by Southwest panel in Austin, Texas, that the successor to the Xbox 360 would win the next generation console wars.
He also predicts that gamers will have to spend more money on their next-gen Xbox games as well as for games made for Sony's PlayStation 4 console.

Sources reports that during his talk, Pachter said that games for both consoles would cost $70, which is $10 more than the current high price most PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 retail games. The $60 price tag was $10 higher than games for the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox.

Pachter's predictions would seem to be going against statements made by a Sony executive just after the announcement of the PlayStation 4 in February. At that time, Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton claimed on CNBC that PS4 games would have a maximum price of $60. There's no information on why Pachter believes that PS4 games would be $10 higher than Tretton's limit.

PGA This price doesn't seem too bad, considering that the graphics are supposed to be amazing.

Seeing that it is Microsoft and Cony, they probably will be awesome on the new consoles.

Undisclosed I don't think they should raise the price of the games. Just because the graphics are better? No. They have newer technology to make the graphics better. The price should stay the same. And 70 sounds like a lot more than just 60


well i don't we can do anything about it /: except pay +$10
i think the game that come out from Next gen Console is worth the $70 (:


Well i would prefer to pay more for the graphics, because the better they are the better haha


Yeah i guess.

PGA Doesn't seem to be too bad of a price.


There was no need for a rise in the price


$10 more is reasonable.


Not really the current price is reasonable they just get more greedy each time


Hungry for money. But i guess they will live up to their price in the end.


If game prices go up console prices better not be to high


Yeah that better not happen.
