PS4 games went from £50 to £60 to then warrant PS5 games at £70, better to have a £10 price difference than £20 between both formats. It's inevitable PS5 games will rise to £80, so does that mean they'll creep to £90 with PS6 games at £100? I don't know how people can afford games these days and in some cases, they cost more to download. Gaming will go subscription based I'm afraid, the retro market, games will rocket in price.
£70 ($99) at launch, it's a backburner release for me.
£70 top for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 games, £75 tops for Switch 2 games in the UK, that's tipping $99 at the current exchange rate.
UN Squadron, Stunt Race FX, Top Gear 2, Nigel Mansell F1, Rock 'n' Roll Racing, Adam's Family, Super Probotector. Top 3 for me, Mario Kart, Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Mario World. It kills me that the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo generation has gone. Going from a Commodore 64 to a Mega Drive and Super Nintendo, the much higher costs of games, I couldn't play them all.
Games top £75 with tax in the UK, a whopping $99.
Mario Kart World £75 ($99) at launch, add future paid DLC, £100+, that's me out.
Probably same old. Doors that don't open, running out of ammo, typewriter saves, a big house. An open world game is the only way forward.
I'm not sure how old your are, but the big gaming crash from the 1980s is heading our way. The cost of a PS5 Pro indicates how much PS6 will launch for and £75+ games.
The console price stays the same, but accessories rise in price in the US. Goes without saying, it'll sell out at launch, but the masses won't pay those prices. In the UK, games top £75 including tax ($99). Mario Kart World DLC will rocket the price. Not a chance will Nintendo get away with this. Cyberpunk on PS5 for under £30, why pay more than double on Switch 2? The high cost of last gen games on Switch 2 will add to its demise.
Next, we'll be paying to Switch consoles on.
From vids, the game play doesn't look too good. We're going back to AI from years ago. Forget about the graphics, although it'll still look good on the Switch. Mario Kart 8 on Switch is a Wii U port and still holds up against Mario Kart World, look at the vids. A probable $80 for this is a big no from me.
Remember Breath of the Wild was a Wii U port. Nintendo are so milking it.
Funny how Nintendo left pricing out of the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct, left out because Nintendo knew it wasn’t going to go down too well worldwide. Comparison videos on Mario Kart 8 versus Mario Kart World, not forgetting Mario Kart 8 was a Wii U port that still looks amazing on the Will U, there wasn’t much in it. Rumours of some games could top $90, old PS4 and Xbox One games on Switch, I’d rather play them on the mentioned consoles at a cheaper price. Not a chance will Switch 2 take off wi...
You look back at the history of Atari, can't really fault their consoles and computers, most of their games didn't exactly meet AAA standards.
Every gamer, developer, publisher and retailer is a loser. A single format is the only way forward for gaming.
The gaming industry has been in one big mess for years, now this. Not long until the crash comes.
Absolutely rubbish that VR1 games won’t run on VR2.
PS6 in a few years, does that mean Sony will crack the whip again and release VR3? We’ve only just got started with the gen.
£90 ($113) tops at launch, definitely not a day one purchase.
Back then, there was Play.com, games going for well under £20. Best to sit back and let games age and pick them up cheaper, but some used games can sell for more. That also pays off waiting for complete editions. It's probably the oldest debate in gaming, the price of games. PS4 games rising to £60 was a shocker. There's definitely a gaming crash coming, yet Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft don't seem to be bothered. They only see £ and $ signs then wonder how it ...
