Those are some interesting numbers. Out of curiosity, do we have stats based on region ? I mean gaming in both japan and europe is WAY more expensive than in the US and we aren't super rich either. Take a look at the WiiU prices and bare in mind that the day one price of a game is an average of 55 euros here which is 70 bucks. Your day one price of 60 bucks (45 euros) is a pipe dream for us. |
I agree with this, this generation has been dirt cheap and exactly why the Playstation 3 has become my system with the most games by a fair margin. Back when I had to consistently spend $40-60 dollars I bought a few games a year. Now? I buy a dozen games a year because they are all $10-20 dollars. This is within months of release, not years either. Even pre-order deals for day one purchases if you're impatient can be found at $40-50 range.
Hand helds are different story...I can hardly ever find DS or 3DS games below $20, and often hold at $30-40 for years (ex: Mario and Pokemon).
