EA, take 2 and THQ has had lots of trouble even before HD systems. and as i recall Ubi soft just last quater lost money but was profitable before  in THIS gen i believe (i could be wrong). we can have a list war of who is making money? if you like. but i wont. problem is not the price but their games. they arent selling as much. Madden has gone down for years and thats EA major problem. take 2 only has GTA that makes them money and thats been since the last gen. THQ WWE games sell less each year like madden.

point is people arent buying the same games every year and that can be because of the economy or a huge 60 dollar price tag. rasing prices well not save them.. in fact id buy more if the prices were LOWER....

thats my take anyway. nice debating with you as you do bring good points and dont come at me with silly points.

Actually EA only started losing money in the fiscal year ending in March 2008 (with very low profits in the year ending March 2007). And their revenue has been increasing a lot, so they're selling lots of games. The big problem is they're spending more on game development than they used to.

I'm not saying it's all this gen's fault anyway, my point is many publishers aren't making profits so it's not like they're ripping you off IMO.

As for lowering prices, it could work (I don't know), but I guess they've done their studies? Hopefully they've done them correctly too...

 

ahhhh good post.

well as i said before the gen does cost more thats a fact but i think a 10 dollar mark up is crazy i mean what other business can get away with that? music went DOWN because it lost a lot of money not up and movies just look at blu-ray... as soon as the prices went down lots more people started buying it.

as you said lowering prices could work but they choose to rasie prices and im sure they did studies because as you can see we as gamers still buy them at higher prices >.<.
