Sony expects higher $59 to $99 price points for PS3 games

supadupagama June 29th, 2006 Listen to this article "Hey! Listen!"

Sony PlayStation 3SCEA president Kaz Hirai isn’t promising a $59.99 price tag for PS3 games this fall. In an interview with PlayStation Magazine, the Sony leader explained: So, what I can say now is, I think it would be a bit of a stretch to think that we could suddenly turn around and say “PS3 games now $99.99″ I don’t think the consumers expect the software pricing to suddenly be double,” he told the magazine. “So, if it becomes a bit higher than fifty-nine bucks don’t ding me, but, again, as I said, I don’t expect it to be a hundred bucks.”

In other words, consumers should expect PS3 games to cost somewhere between $59.99 and $99.99. He doesn’t expect them to be a hundred dollars, but it’s only a “stretch” to expect it. And here we thought going from current generation to Xbox 360 was bad seeing prices respectively rise from $49.99 to $59.99. Looks like it’s back to the SNES/N64 prices.
