You won't convince that audience. They want to continue to defend price hikes and while if Xbox or Nintendo raised their prices instead, they would be the first ones to assault the idea. Its a sad reality and is why these companies will continue to get away with it.

How much do you expect, Starfield, Fallout 5 & Elderscrolls 6 to be?
You sure all of them will launch at 60$?

They are big single player games, equal in size and scope, to the big titles of sony's single player games.
Would you be surprised if MS increased prices to 70$ on those titles?

In these times with insane energy prices, and heating prices.... 70$ does hit harder though.
It sucks, but like if its needed by them to keep makeing games of the same scope, I can understand.

I've always admitted that I dont buy day 1.... often looking for good bargins instead.
So I get it, 70$ is alot, so is 60$ tbh, but end of the day its a bussiness thats gotta turn a profit.
if that means people like me have to buy late, when there are bargins or cheaper prices, thats just how it is.

Weather they do or not, doesn't mean I agree with it. I am not buying into these economics that require games to have their prices raised. Its utter garbage when you look into how much money these companies and corps are making on a yearly basis on their software and Subs alone. 

They are literally earning Billions off the customers and now say we need to up the price a little more to get another billion out of the customers. 

I rarely buy games day one these days and its definitely not helping with the corporate greed of today. They want to charge us more for Subs, they want to charge us more for games and are now trying to charge us more for hardware all to please shareholders. 

As with those Xbox games you mention, no they shouldn't be $70, however they will most likely launch at $70 due to this trend. At least customers have the option of GamePass for those games. No game I have seen today is worth $70.
