Analyst: PS4 and next-gen Xbox games will cost $70

4.6
Michael Pachter, a well known game financial analysts who works at Wedbush Securities made a prediction this weekend at a panel at the the South by Southwest panel in Austin, Texas, that the successor to the Xbox 360 would win the next generation console wars.
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.

Toll If the games are going up i hope the console ain't going to be to much either


i'd say the console is going to be around $400-$600....


Im going to have to agree with you because the PS3 was in the $400 range if im correct.


The PS3 was actually $500 on it's original launch. the Xbox 360 had $300 and $400 models available


Hopefully Xbox will go cheaper again.


Agreed, they probably will too. PS3's are more expensive then Xbox's for some reason, so hopefully it'll stay the same again.
