Uhhh $60. As someone who has done game development. I laugh at anyone who states otherwise. It's nothing more than a pipe dream. The kind of media does not dictate the price. The cost of making games will not change. Using cartridges are also more expensive than disks. It's very hard to stay profitable and if the games are sold for $40. It will not be worth a developers time nor money to release a game on that console.... period. Unless there is some magic voodoo with the system that drastically reduces the price, time, and effort of making games. It's not going to happen. If it does. I will be shocked and will need to say that the NX will likely become the #1 console of choice for a lot of games. Plus the amount of copies of the games that will need to be sold to be profitable will need to be doubled. $60 is hardly sustainable anymore and $80 is a fair barging ground for developers and gamers. Again, costs are going up, development sizes are going up, the time to make a game is going up. Many developers are beginning to struggle and the gap between AAA and indie is growing.

So I vote for $60. It's a win for the gamers and it's accepted. It's risky for developer so those extra sales do matter and used game sales do sting badly.
