That is the beauty about this generation, you can "remaster" a game and sell it a full price or near full price. Also Last of Us Remaster to counter your point. |
Hardly a new thing. Most developers nowadays just call it a remaster when in reality it's just a port from last to current gen.
Also while it's obviously a good thing when those games are cheaper, they don't have to be. There was the XCOM 2 console announcement yesterday. Obviously this one can't be sold at full price, right? I mean the game was already made for another platform and porting the stuff is cheap and not a lot of work compared to creating the game.
You can launch the game at whatever price you want but the market will determine the actual price.
As metioned The Uncharted Collection launched at full price, was bundled with lots of consoles, was very cheap on PSN during some sales and after Christmas you could already get it for $30 (according to Amazon.com). In Europe Halo 5 was massively overshipped at launch and thus very cheap to have. I feel pity for those who paid 60€ or even 70€ for it as the price quickly fell to 40€ a week or two after it launched.
Bottom line. If people are willing to pay 40 pounds for Skyrim Definitive Edition, the price won't get much lower in the weeks and months to follow. If they aren't, the price will quickly fall in a matter of a few weeks.
