licensing fees were 15 dollars a game onthe n64 (and upwards with cartridge sizes), that was 1 of the reasons developers jumped ship and went to the psx and its 7 dlls licensing fees, last gen I remember it was along the lines of 7, 8, and 9 dollar fees. this gen I think Ms and sony got the price up for the games and the fees, even if it went to n64 levels (15 dollars), it would need a 20:1 ratio for a 300 dollars lose. You could say that the cost is going down, but with the inability of Ps3 to sell its current stock I question their ability to reduce the cost of the machine in the near future.
