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.

Dreams 70$ is to much should go back to 50 like how it was back in the day.


That is so true, i think 70 bucks for a game is way over priced


things are getting way too expensive nowadays

STi So about 50 pounds do you think the prices of hardened editions and such will increase ?


i would assume it would be like the normal price but adding whatever it is extra for hardened. pretty dumb imo

Oh my bad.


Oh yeah, the conversion is the same. $74 is about right.

Qwikscoper That is ridiculous, considering it costs less than $5 to produce each copy of the game...
