Games Could Go Down in Price in Post-Release Sales
So you’re really interested in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, or Demon’s Souls and you know you’ve got to get a next-gen console to enjoy them. Even after the huge expense of these next-gen consoles, you’ll then have to buy the game, with some already confirmed to be releasing at $69.99.
Just because they start at this price, however, doesn’t mean it’ll last forever. In fact, it could be argued that this new pricing structure may be altered over the next year or so as developers and publishers find the sweet spot, particularly if $70 titles struggle with sales.
Even if the typical structure isn’t altered, PlayStation and Microsoft are frequently throwing digital game sales on their storefronts that can see huge discounts on all manner of games. While it might suck that you’ve got to wait a little longer to experience these true next-gen experiences, at least there’s a chance you can save yourself some cash on these games in a sale when you do get your system.
