Top video games may soon cost more - briefly
(hx) 03:33 PM CEST - Jun,18 2003 - Post a comment / read (8)
According to this MSNBC story, you could be paying an extra 10 bucks a title by the end of this year, predicted Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities who has been tracking some of the biggest players in the industry. Over the next year, approximately 750 new titles will hit the market. If past sales figures offer any clues, said Pachter, the top 50 to 60 games will rake in 50 percent of the total sales. "Once you see those numbers, it's easy to see that half could command a $60 price point," he said. The key word is "could." Pachter said he believes that the Xbox version of "Doom III," scheduled for release later this year, may go for $59.99. But he admits that he's the only guy on Wall Street to predict the price jump. Most other analysts seem to think game prices will remain mostly the game with AAA titles still selling for $50.

i can understand boosting console game prices as competition is fierce but PC games "I DONT THINK SO" if a game goes above the £34.99 usual retail price then i reckon more & more ppl with run to places where they can get hold of FREE ILLEGAL copies ! End of the day the losers R programmers & ppl paying through the nose.

actually, i've gotten bored of pc games; mostly a expensive waste of money; as the price has gone up i have hardly bought any pc game the past year. i wait read the poor reviews and watch them get tossed on the bargain bin pile. obviously, there is far more hype than inovation in the market.

When it comes to video games I hate to think of the prices, come on nowdays every damn new games like PC, XBOX, PSX2, games is well over $50 or more. So now there's a predictions that a games price might go up S**T what a bastard to the game industries. What the f**k I mean I don't have to buy they games but I love games just like any of you and the prices is gonna kill some of us if you know what I mean. You know do the math we go shopping at a lets say Wal-Mart, super market with a cart full of food items and I was surprise that most of the time it only cost me somewhere $50 or a little more. But if we buy one new game it cost over $50 and if we buy two new games it cost well over $90. What a drag the games industries is already a Millions or Billions Dollar business and now in the years to come the game prices might go up a WACKOS. SO PEOPLES FOOD OR GAMES!.

I'm gonna choose food. it takes the p*** how much they want us to spend, when its rarely gonna get played. Champ Man is worth it though purely on the amount of hours u get out of the game.

well they can up their prices, just means I buy less games. I don't believe in paying high cost for a game only to wait for 10 patches to make it work properly. As someone said, hype is selling games, not the actual quality of the game. Look at Matrix, it's a good game but not worth the sticker price. Would you pay $80+ for that game. Dream on. This will also increase pirating too and there is NO WAY from what I have seen that they will ever stop pirating of software. In the end they give people that haven't even dived into pirating, like me, a bigger incentive to do it.

All software comes down in price eventually. I just wait until they drop the price on a game then buy it, i don't HAVE to have the latest game right away. Else, buy it used if possible.

Prices are absurd. Higher prices will only be more absurd. Used is the only way to go - two weeks after release, games show up on Ebay for half price or, as time goes on, less and less.

tomposted - Jun, 20 2003 - 16:19
Ebay, hahaha, I don't use that crap. Friends have used it and got screwed each time. The last thing I do is buy anything online, especially criminal eBay.. I've also bought used and tried using the supplied KEY and found the key is already in use. I only buy new, and by the looks of it, I wont be buying much anymore. Games are already retardedly priced and I haven't had a game that has really held my interest long enough to justify the already high costs.
