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

Qwikscoper That is ridiculous, considering it costs less than $5 to produce each copy of the game...
I wouldn't say that. I'm sure it costs a little more that that for high budget games. Actually it costs a LOT more than that. But $70 is still too high.

Basic economics at work here with price elasticity. They know we will pay $60 already and analysts have already projected no loss in sales by raising the games $10....all I can say is, for the extra $10 I want to see developers listening to what their fans want a little more this time around.

$10 isn't too much to ask for to be fair, I mean we are all still going to buy all of our favourite games, right? :D
