So long to imported JRPGs if this happens. They thrive on their first wave of sales. If this happens, coupled with the strong Yen vs the dollar, you'll have to read Japanese, and in some cases get a console for the region, to play a JRPG.

Yea, the HD games are simply too high. I think its worth it if it has a good single player + online.

So SP + Online = $60
SP Only= $50 (Most Wii games would agree with this)
Online only = $40

But then again, this could easily be solved by just downloading games with digital distribution - no discs needed.

HD games should $49.99 and Wii games should be $39.99

well doesn't matter to me cause none of my games have ever cost more than $50

From what I've seen of many Wii titles, $39.99 should recoup the entire development cost.

it was an analyst, i would be so happy it it were true. 60 dollars for a game is ridiculous.

this is sounding contrary to the other article saying that the Wii will be affected by the recession first

True.  Though I mean that's one of the things i like about the Wii.  Some games, that are still quality mind you come out for cheaper.

Expect only top of the line AAA, flagship titles, with track records, to clock in at $60 new. Normal new titles should come in at $50. And the new bargain titles will be looking at $40 for release.

A title like the Guilty Gear 2: Overture, which is on the quirky side will NO WAY show itself released new at $60. That would likely clock in around $40 to start. This is the new economy.

Only epic titles stated above should be released $60 new like Killzone 2, the next Halo featuing Masterchief if there ever is one, the next Gears, GOW 3, FF13, and, uh yeah I think you get my point. Those sports games definitely shouldn't be priced at $60 new
