Sony Hints At Higher Priced Games

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the looking-forward-to-eighty-dollar-games dept.

Sony's Kaz Hirai hints that, in addition to the $600 console, we may have even more expensive games to look forward to. From the Gamasutra article: "I don't think consumers expect software pricing to suddenly double. So, the quick answer is that we want to make it as affordable as possible, knowing that there is a set consumer expectation for what software has cost for the past twelve years. That's kind of the best answer I can give you. So, if it becomes a bit higher than $59, don't ding me, but, again, I don't expect it to be $100."

    Get a Wii

    I've already got that! It's the socket the Wii plugs into that I need.
