In my opinion I think that the prices of video games that went up are no surprise to me at all. One reason why I think so is because they are lowering the prices for consoles, so that defaces the value of what it’s actually worth, but in addition to that the video games have become a higher selling product, due to manufacturing and other elements that go into games as well. Same thing with apps they lower the prices on apps because everything is now mobile, thus consumers have no time to sit around playing games. Right now the world is constantly moving and technology is growing, so I think that apps have a better chance of surviving than video games have in surviving in your living room. “If you ever been ripped off by ebgames or games then u will feel my pain because i bought L4D2(cut Ver) for $59.95 on ebgames. On steam they sell it for $14! Even though its the same version.” http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27562482 That was an example of how expensive games are getting and that is ridiculous. Another example are how the prices of consoles are going down, and an example from this site proves that. "While we continue to innovate and design groundbreaking new products, we remain dedicated to our long-term vision for the PlayStation 2 platform,” said Kaz Hirai, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America. “Now even more consumers, as well as casual gamers, can experience what the PlayStation 2 platform has to offer—an unrivaled combination of the largest selection of software, a growing community for online gaming and one-of-a-kind accessories such as EyeToy™—at a new value price." http://www.console-exploits.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6514
Should games for the main 4 consoles be 60 dollars?(US currency Consoles:PS3 Wii Xbox 360 PC) I mean that the price for me is too high to buy games. I have to wait to buy them untill they go down. Oh wait I don't own a main console except a bad PC. Still the price is too high. What are your thoughts? Does the high price hurt the industry?
This is all information from consumers as well as higher ups in the corporate ladder.
