[quote name='cancerman1120']If by a couple of months you mean more than 6-9 then yes. Darksiders 2 has been out 6 months and it is still $50. That game has never been lower than $30 plus it has a season pass. It did not even sell that well either. So with a new system you are looking at $20 games most likely summer of 2014 at best.
It also assumes that with no used market that games will drop at the same rate which may not happen without competition.[/QUOTE]
I should have probably exempted the better selling titles, you're right. But Gamestop still bends you over on those too. Gamestop basically takes a few bucks off and counts on the customer wanting that extra Happy meal over a shrink wrapped game. This is after accepting a ridiculously low trade in. They don't do customers or developers any great favors.
The prices will get to whatever point they need to be, that's the market. If people supposedly will not have money for new games because of the nonexistent used market, then the games will have to adjust. You can't get blood out of a turnip. No one will miss used games when they're gone... people will look back one day and laugh this was ever an issue.
