Forums - Sales Discussion - $60 Games Soon To Be Slashed

Well it would allready be great if all the shops here sold games for 60 euros. I once saw uncharted (a 6 hour long game without mulitplayer) for 80 euros!!

But would the increased volume make up for the lower per game revenue? That's tough to predict.

Honestly increased volume almost never makes up for the lost revenue.

Price cutting to gain market share is often considered one of the great follies of buisness decisions.

It occasionally works but it's something that's way overdone.

 

That all depends on how the supply and demand curves look.

Switch - Super Mario Maker 2 (2019)

Switch - Bastion (2011/2018)
3DS - Star Fox 64 3D (2011)
3DS - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Trilogy) (2005/2014)
Wii U - Darksiders: Warmastered Edition (2010/2017)
Mobile - The Simpson's Tapped Out and Yugioh Duel Links
PC - Deep Rock Galactic (2020)

It's a ten dollar difference, but saying $49.99 vs $60 makes the gap seem a lot bigger than $49.99 vs $59.99 .


I'm all for lower prices, though.

True, though the curves do rarely make them up despite people often doing so.

 



I haven't posted in this thread yet? Huh.... Well, I would like this to happen, but If I were a publisher, i would feel depressed. This is like their entire profit walking away from them..

Be nice if it happened, but its hard to imagine on the big budget titles.

Maybe not all of them... but it'd help the lower tier titles. (one would hope.)

I mean this is already the case for the Wii.  Lots of games release at 39.99 or lower.

 

 

Microsoft does this as well... I think that more companies should make a case by case on games.

Let's hope so becouse it's rediculus if publishers really expect us to pay 60 euro per new title which last 6-10 hours.

I don't mind shorter games if they are priced correctly.
