Aranea Highwind Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/18/playstation-4-games-will-cost-5999 If you were worried about PlayStation 4 games costing more than PlayStation 3 games, think again. Sony has confirmed to ShackNews that PS4 titles purchased at retail will cost $59.99. However, there may be a caveat here, as the specific quote reads, “All four [launch/launch window] titles, Killzone: Shadow Fall, DriveClub, Knack, and Infamous: Second Son are all $59.99.” Is this designed to give Sony wiggle room later on? We’ll have to see. This news comes on the heels of Microsoft’s confirmation that Xbox One games at retail will also cost the now-standard $59.99. Late generation concern about next-gen pricing mostly arose because of the $10 jump in pricing from the PS2 era to the PS3 era, which also transcended the jump from Xbox to Xbox 360. So $60 games sound good. Indeed, $60 sounds especially good when considering that cartridge-based games during the SNES and Genesis era could cost as much as $100 at retail, depending on the size and makeup of the chips within those cartridges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitsuneChaos Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Pretty much an expected norm, Something I've known for a bit now, but at least it's finally out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambers35 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Pretty good that they're keeping the same price. I wonder if that will knock the price of the PS3 games down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitsuneChaos Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Pretty good that they're keeping the same price. I wonder if that will knock the price of the PS3 games down More than likely in the hands of retailers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambers35 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 More than likely in the hands of retailers now. Yeah you're probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerklg Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It was obvious they were not going to go more than 60, Sony has been successful thus far(except that you have to pay to play now) with doing the right things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 i wish games went back to the 69.99- 74.99$ era..... hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 That sounds great, I hope that means they're £39.99 for the UK as well.. currently waiting for GAME/Shopto/Amazon to update the prices before I preorder any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streethawkfan Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Most online retailers here had a pre-order price on the ps4 games at £50, the second sony finished the unveiling at E3, so had the games I wanted pre-ordered right away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_First2Fight_x Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's what I expected, so no surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xVolloxx Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Awesome for it to be confirmed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I didn't expect anything else. I do wonder if new PS3 releases will be marked down a bit when the PS4 is released but I have a feeling that won't happen until the PS4 has a much larger install base.

MidnightRadiance Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not all that surprising as i couldn't see people buying many games if they increased the price by another $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadorvp Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm glad they've confirmed the prices to be the same Sadly it appears Finnish retailers are almost all selling PS4 games at 70 euros (some more; some are selling for less) instead of the 60 euros that PS3 games were, so at least here it's gone up instead of staying the same For now, at least.

zorry777 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 so no 49.99 US dollars then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Banfield Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I am still waiting on the UK stores to confirm their prices before i believe anything but £40 sounds perfect to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrk_01 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Not really surprising...since microsoft is keeping the prices the same, naturally sony will also do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spark-N Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So wait is there only four titles at launch? As there is only one game out of those that I would actually buy and that's inFamous Second Son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHGSniperFox Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So wait is there only four titles at launch? As there is only one game out of those that I would actually buy and that's inFamous Second Son. They were only listing their own titles. Those are also the 4 games that will likely be available the day the system comes out - it's not including games that may come out a few weeks later.

Well I guess inFamous will keep me busy for a while till a few new entertaining titles arrive. Edited June 19, 2013 by CHAR MAN DUH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
