Analyst: PS4 and next-gen Xbox games will cost $70
He also predicts that gamers will have to spend more money on their next-gen Xbox games as well as for games made for Sony's PlayStation 4 console.
Sources reports that during his talk, Pachter said that games for both consoles would cost $70, which is $10 more than the current high price most PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 retail games. The $60 price tag was $10 higher than games for the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox.
Pachter's predictions would seem to be going against statements made by a Sony executive just after the announcement of the PlayStation 4 in February. At that time, Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton claimed on CNBC that PS4 games would have a maximum price of $60. There's no information on why Pachter believes that PS4 games would be $10 higher than Tretton's limit.

Pool This is ridiculous, I'd never spend that much on a game.
But you're probably going to in the future if it becomes the norm.

GowJ no way its gonna be 70$, not a lot of people are gonna buy it at that price
Hold up. I was completely expecting a rise of the price for the "Next-Gen Consoles." First, $70 isn't that bad. When Super Mario Bros. 3 came out, it was priced at $60. You might not think that it's not that big of a deal, but according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation would mean that to buy the Super Mario Bros 3 in 1988 when it was released would mean that it would cost $116.79. And some N64 games were $80 for a short time when they first came out. So really $70 for a game, I can accept that.

Video games are expensive as is, but why are so many people acting like a 10$ increase is that astounding? You're already paying 60$ for the game, if that 10$ bump is what it takes for you to realize that something is overpriced or over valued....
