Think about gta san andreas. If they had released that game at half price from the begining, they would have needed to sell 30 million copies to get the same amount of money. Do you really think 30 million people would have wanted to play that game? I sure as hell don't, especially since it has been at $20 for forever now and it didn't get a huge sales boost. |
Yes and clearly you're the king of excitement. There will be games that deserve the $60 price tag, but as you should know a lot of the games today don't and those are the games that should not cost as much. There seems to be a market for partial games, as there is for Music Singles. For games just look at GT5 Prologue. They can also pursue that avenue, release a lower cost version that has only 30% of the content for the full version. There are lots of stuff they can try and perhaps they have started trying just look at the popularity of the downloadable games from all three platforms.
