Activision, Sony och Take-Two har utannonserat att de kommer höja priset på sina fullpristitlar till motsvarande drygt 830 kronor. Warner har valt ett slags mellanväg och stannar på knappt 780 kronor - medan resterande inte valt att höja några priser. Och så lär det kanske förbli. Iallafall om vi får tro kände spelanalytikern Michael Pachter.
Han säger att han "don't think everyone will charge $70" och förklarar varför i en färsk intervju:
"It really comes down to what the console MSRP is for games. Microsoft has been pretty clear with Smart Delivery, which they have said is free for current to next gen upgrades. So if Smart Delivery is free, unless Microsoft raises the price of current gen games from $60 to $70, they can't price their games at $70. And next gen games from them will be $60.
I think 2K pricing their game at $70 is going to upset customers. And I get that it's worth it, I get that inflation is a thing, and that game prices haven't increased in years. But the fact is, if the platform holders don't suggest a $70 price point, then third party publishers will look greedy by asking for $10 more.
I don't know if it's going to happen. I think what we're seeing is publishers trying to figure out what they will do with regards to pricing, and I have to imagine Sony didn't help anybody announcing Miles Morales at $50 and Demon's Souls at $70."
Vad tycker du om tilltaget att vissa höjer spelpriserna inför nästa generation?
Demon's Souls kommer att säljas för drygt 830 kronor.
