Do you think that Wii U games will be the same price at launch as PS3 and Xbox 360 games? ($60 in the US)



Around the Network

This is a really good question.. I ... honestly have no idea. I'm going with $59.99, as that is what has been adopted for both HD consoles and the PC.



I thought PC games were still $49.99? But then again, it's been a while since I have bought a PC game.



I think Nintendo should continue to sell their games at $50, but allow 3rd parties to charge $60 or more if they want.



Third party games will definitely be $60, and I'd be shocked if Nintendo's heavy hitters weren't as well.



Around the Network

I would think they would as it takes more money for an HD Title, especially one that is made for the Wii U. (With those controller uses. )



60 dollars for 3rd party. 50 dollars for first party. 40 dollars for first party digital download.

I hope it goes like that.



Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward = best game ever made.

they are only $60 on ps3/360 because of the cut MS/sony gets per sale.

Do MS & Sony take a bigger cut than Nintendo?



I think we all need to keep in mind that if Nintendo charges a lower price for their epic first party games, third-party publishers are going to be extremely upset and likely jump ship because they can't (or don't want to) be as competitive in pricing. It will devalue their offerings.

It felt strange typing this out, as it's completely backwards to the regular ideals of competition in a market.
