Exactly.

 

I'd like to see your rationale for this. Bioshock is one of the most praised console shooters. If there is a large enough base for shooters on the PS3, which Resistance 1 showed a decent amount for this game should have sold well enough for itself.

It took several months for Resistance to reach 3 million+.  I bet Bioshock will have decent legs with an appropriate price cut.

 

I just dont get why it shouldt be the same price as other games its not like its any less then them in fact look at this score on metacritic its an amazing game it should not be half price just becuase it got ported to the PS3 later

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/bioshock  -95 amazing!

 

I'm not saying it's a bad game(LOL double negatives). I'm saying that asking full price for a game that's been available for over a year is unreasonable.  I'm sure anyone who wanted the game would have gotten it on PC or the 360 by now.  It's like... selling year-old steak for full price.

 

I think it's pretty safe to say in this case that the less Bioshock PS3 cost, the more copies it will sell.  But for 2K Games, I can conceivable say that they might be making more profits initially with less copies sold but at a higher pricepoint.  It's a gamble if this is the case.
