You forgot how the japanese industry has fallen...lucky their is still nintendo..
For the rest I disagree, basically every month we are treated with a game that last more than 10 hours (Sleeping dogs/Borderlands 2)
Pricing clearly shows that you are kind of young because N64 gamers or even older oner remember games that costed 80$ and more...Video games is one of the only entertainment industries whose price is almost stable for a long time.. Check the price for going to an amusement park/watching a movie with ten years as an example.
and so on...

Im 23, and a few games with outrageous pricing doesn't speak for gaming as a whole. i remember a 2D DBZ game for PS1 costing no less than $100 but that was odd. Maybe it is the location, but N64 games were like $30-40 as well here where I am. Mind you I have always lived in City Areas.
Movies still cost me 5-7 bucks where I am as well. My issue is not entirely with the pricing but rather what they are giving you for said price, a shadow of what it used to be.

Prices above 60$ weren't that odd in that generation. Most were 30-40 indeed but were also finished in a few hours but you possible did not care because you would replay that game over and over again like many youngsters are doing now with their console/handheld/PC games and getting extra motivated to do it thx to the achievements/trophies..
If the price of video games went up like movie tickets did we would be paying now 80-90$ for a game...Well I do because I live in europe..
