Yakuza 3 is cheaper, SO4 really just asking to have a new asshole ripped by the former game in Japan. This either has to do with demand for the game not being high so they need to sell the game at a high price or in infamous "SE tax".

 

 Yeah high prices always indicates low demand. Low demand indicates high prices. We all know that. That is why the PS3 is expensive. Or the Wii-prices at ebay some time ago. High prices, because nobody wants to have a wii.

 

 

 

 

Why the hell are you trolling? You do know that Star Ocean is not that big of a JRPG series especially since its now on the 360 where oh surprise surprise the majority of JRPG's on it dont even break 500K

 

 Oh god. You called his logic "trolling?" Have you no idea how the industry moves?

Heres an example, even though its not a good one it works. Gas prices rose because the companies knew people needed it. They knew people would still buy it even at obscene prices. They lowered it once they figured out NOBODY IS GONNA KEEP BUYING IT as long as it stays that price.

Higher demand means that the producer can afford to put a higher price on it. When something doesn't sell well they LOWER THE PRICE. Common freaking sense people. Thats how EVERY consumer industry works.
