"If you go back to the Nintendo 64 days, many of those frontline titles retailed for $60 and consumers were more than willing to buy them, when they were good games."
Yeah I paid $60.oo+ for truely awesome games back in the 1990's, but then again I only bought 6-10 games a year. ($70.00 for R-type and I thing $80 each fpr Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana) Now I buy over 50 games a year, most of which start off at $49.99 and quickly end up on the $19.99 or less rack, which is where I start to contemplate picking them up. When I find them for $15.oo or less it's ussually a no-brainer even if the game isn't "that great". With $60.oo games I imagine the same thing will happen with most being discounted $20.oo to $40.oo when they don't "fly" off the shelf?
As for the great games... they'll retain their higher price as always.
