Take-Two says next-generation game price hikes won’t be universal

So good news, some games may not cost $70 during the next gen console gen. Take-Two thinks not all games will be priced that, they will go by a title-to-title basis. So yeah, maybe one game will be priced at $70, but their other game could be $60. 

 

I call BS on it though. I think once $70 price tags were brought up, more studios will just fall into line with it. Ubisoft says they plan to charge $60 for their games. But who's to say that will last down the line. We could see $70 become the new standard. On top of that, expect them to still throw us micro-transactions and loot crates and all that. 

What do you think? Will more studios raise their pricing to $70? At least in the US, it will differ all over I imagine.

I think prices are meant to increase because they have seen the greed. there is no need for increase in price but they will increase. unless the graphics justifies the price rise I dont see the reason for increasing.

I'm just gonna say, give it time.

The thing is, if they increase one game and it reaches the same sales numbers as if it were a 60$ game, that would push other developers to do the same. My only hope is that people abstain from buying it and they see that people won't buy games for that price.
