Capcom, Sega Drop Gamecube Software Prices

Posted by simoniker on from the more-bounce-to-the-ounce dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Nintendojo report discussing the price drop, to $39.99 in the US, for a number of forthcoming Gamecube games. It appears that Nintendo has reduced its royalty rate for all third-party publishers, so not only can publishers like Eidos, Rockstar, and Acclaim choose to put some titles out at $39, Capcom and Sega seem to be releasing all their titles at that price (including Viewtiful Joe, Billy Hatcher, and more.) Seems like good news for gamers.

    What, lower prices? I doubt that. I mean, I think you're going out on a limb there. Gamers, see, they are usually better off if they pay more money. Honestly, you'd think you didn't hear the outpouring of dissent when all the console prices lowered. The game companies, they're trying to ruin us, I tell you!
