As a child I was saving my hard earned money to buy NES games at 50 dollars. As an adult, now I buy games at 60 dollars. It's actually very impressive that we don't pay more, especially with some of the budgets these games have.

If they really want the all digital future to take off, they should sell the digital version for less. They never incentivize the thing that's supposedly cheaper for them.

 
NBA 2K is the LAST game that could ever justify a price increase. Series has been riddled with microtransactions for the better part of a decade. You can't even dress your player the way you want in offline game modes without paying real life money to do so.

Garbage...

I always felt those prices were justified back then because cartridges were expensive to manufacture and they were heavy and bulky. All things that really increase the cost to sell at retail. If I remember correctly, similar games were selling on PC for easily $20 - $30 cheaper on release and that trend followed well into the new millennium until steam took over.

I agree that digital should be cheaper on release as they tend to not go on sale as quickly as their retail counterpart and they do eliminate any retail costs involved which should be passed on to the consumer.

2K is just testing the waters with one of their guaranteed hits. This way they get a sense of how the casual market reacts to the hike without risking too much. Most of their money comes from the microtransactions anyway.

Don't want to get too off topic, but I don't think inflation means what most people think it means. The way BLS tracks inflation over time changes as the bucket of goods evolves. The really important thing for consumer decisions is relative price.

I'd say the reason why NBA2K21 is going to be $70 has more to do with their monopoly on the NBA license and less to do with inflation. They may trot out the inflation argument, but thats more because the public accepts it without understanding it. If inflation we're really the case, then all game prices would rise. However, in the games industry, supply has risen just as fast, if not faster than demand. You can see this in the fact that real prices for games have actually fallen over time.

IE If $70 for NBA 2K21 seems expensive to you, it probably, actually is.

Thank you for this. My graduate degree in economics cries everytime the word inflation is used incorrectly.

I'm not sure they are the only company going to be charging this price. Isn't this the first next gen preorder to go live which is why everyone is running with it as the set price for next gen games?

I do think 2k is testing the waters though. They sold 2k19 I believe for 2.99 at one point. They are giving 2k20 with PS+ this month. And first to announce this higher price. So we'll see for sure how it works out for them.

Let's also remember atlus was doing this shit for years with their "(f)atlus tax" which was crap given that they applied it to games they didn't do anything for like stella glow.  And that game had serious translation issues so the fact they wanted to charge 10$ more for it is pathetic and greedy.

Car and housing prices are have doubled or more since then, but even if you stick to entertainment as an apples-to-apples comparison? Movie ticket prices are up probably 400%. Disney World tickets are up 400% for single day passes. Sporting event ticket prices are, generally, at least double. Concert tickets, same.

That is not an apple to apple comparison either though. Games are cheap entertainment you use to pass the time with at home, often buying them on a whim. Far less people wake up in the morning and decide on a whim that they want to go to Disney World. Movie theaters are certainly a better example, and yeah, they've been on the decline for years now in the states. Not entirely because of how expensive a ticket is but that is one of the factors.

If you want a similar entertainment comparison you have to go with books and at home movie/tv which if you actually look at their price history for the past 40 years it's all over the place just like video games. People want the best bang for their buck at home, it's why netflix completely dominated the last decade while cable has been on the way out. And the price difference there is astronomical in some cases, my mom paid $130 a month for cable last year and they wouldn't lower the price so even her who is pretty old and resistant to change finally ditched it.

Competition is way too fierce to price games at double the price they currently are. People would just spend their time doing other things. They might be able to get away with $70 but honestly I am not even sure. If you actually look at how fast video game prices drop these days $60 seems to be too high for the average consumer.

With the caveat that I'm not saying it makes sense for publishers to go to $70, if game prices had kept up with inflation in the last 30 years, as virtually every other segment of American life has, new AAA titles would be double that.

Video game prices have been resistant to inflation - and even been deflationary - in a way almost nothing else has.

In the mid 90s, there wasn't really a "standard" price, but top titles frequently went for $90-100, with an industry market share half what it is now.

Car and housing prices are have doubled or more since then, but even if you stick to entertainment as an apples-to-apples comparison? Movie ticket prices are up probably 400%. Disney World tickets are up 400% for single day passes. Sporting event ticket prices are, generally, at least double. Concert tickets, same.

For whatever reason, video games have been the one industry inflation hasn't really touched. Console prices have crept up and been slower to decline, but software? Stabilized at $50 in the mid to late 90s, went up to $60, and we're only just now talking about $70, 30 years after top cart games were $100 without blinking.

Again - none of this is to suggest that $70 is a sound business move. Only that if gaming had been as affected by inflation as basically every other sector of entertainment, the prices we see on collector's editions would be what we see for standard editions instead.

Video games have also become a massively larger business in the past thirty years. Smaller profit margins still return higher profits when you factor in the number of people buying games now compared to how many people were buying them at the end of the 80s. There's really nothing directly comparable to video games that's undergone anywhere near the same level of market growth in that same period.
 
As Americans we have been so lucky. Japan has never had a set price for games, and they let Japanese game companies price their games however they wanted to. A lot of the games that we got in America for $60 were retailing for up to $100 in Japan, and even more for the special editions.

That is not an apple to apple comparison either though. Games are cheap entertainment you use to pass the time with at home, often buying them on a whim. Far less people wake up in the morning and decide on a whim that they want to go to Disney World. Movie theaters are certainly a better example, and yeah, they've been on the decline for years now in the states. Not entirely because of how expensive a ticket is but that is one of the factors.

If you want a similar entertainment comparison you have to go with books and at home movie/tv which if you actually look at their price history for the past 40 years it's all over the place just like video games. People want the best bang for their buck at home, it's why netflix completely dominated the last decade while cable has been on the way out. And the price difference there is astronomical in some cases, my mom paid $130 a month for cable last year and they wouldn't lower the price so even her who is pretty old and resistant to change finally ditched it.

Competition is way too fierce to price games at double the price they currently are. People would just spend their time doing other things. They might be able to get away with $70 but honestly I am not even sure. If you actually look at how fast video game prices drop these days $60 seems to be too high for the average consumer.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the market can sustain an instant doubling of price. I'm not even saying $70 is necessarily a "good" idea. I AM saying that the other forms of entertainment haven't changed significantly in the last 30-40 years, but they have gone up in price, and the ones I cited in particular have gone up 3-400% in price.

Gaming is the one entertainment form, of all the others mentioned between my post and yours, that HAS changed dramatically, and yet the price has stayed largely static for most of the last 30 years. It hasn't come close to keeping up with inflation. Just one $10 increase a few years ago, and 2K now dipping their toes in the water for another. All while development budgets have exploded and mobile/F2P games have started to contend for eyeballs, resulting in financial pressures at both ends.

If game prices had increased the way everything else has in the last 40 years, we'd be pining for the halcyon days of $70. Again, doesn't mean increasing to $70 is a good move in this moment, but dragging 2K for doing it ignores that historical context.

 
Yeah if that’s true, $10 more for games, I won’t be buying anything anymore, games aren’t what they used to be, the industry is stagnant.

You're ignoring that 2K monetizes every single tiny thing in their games. So it's a slap in the face when they're the ones leading the increase to $70. A butt load of other problems with your logic for price increases but I don't have time to discuss pricing theory and inflation.

Years ago, when the 360 came out, it was announced that games would be going back down to $49.99 once the 360 paid for its losses. It did, right away, and the prices never went back down. Why would they? People were willing to pay the $10 increase and so it stuck.

Don’t believe this hype. The DLC on first person shooter all on its own pays for the development of these games. I used to be a map maker, and as long as you have the assets already done, which they always are when we are talking about add in’s, it’s a simple and very quick matter of making a map. It’s not rocket science, and it’s nowhere near as expensive to do them as it’s made out to be. As long as you’re paying fir season passes and $15 for four new maps (should be more like 10-20 maps for that price, and we are already getting bowled over by these companies.

I also don’t want to hear about crunch. I’m a professional musician and I am ALWAYS working if I am awake 99 out of 100 times. If I didn’t like my hours I’d do something else. These game companies are privileged that we are willing to let them rip us off as is. They should leave it alone.
 
Everybody who buys games at full price on day one is just beta-testing the first post-launch patch anyway.  :whistle2:o

NBA 2K is the LAST game that could ever justify a price increase. Series has been riddled with microtransactions for the better part of a decade. You can't even dress your player the way you want in offline game modes without paying real life money to do so.

Garbage...

Exactly how I feel. I get it for so many things, but the yearly sports update games (especially those already known for the MTX) are not the ones that should be leading the charge for this.

At the end of the day we are all CAGs and gonna wait for the price drop regardless ;)

Did you actually stop and think about this shit before you posted it? Just wondering.

Today, I will be saving money by trying out a bunch of PS4 discs that I already have rather than running out to GameStop, Target, or Walmart.

My goal is to either install or continue playing games that I haven't spent much time with.  Here is today's group.

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition (continuing)

Driveclub (continuing even though online is dead)

Earth's Dawn (continuing)

Everybody's Golf (continuing)

Horizon Zero Dawn (continuing)

Marvel Pinball Epic Collection Volume 1 (starting)

Marvel's Spider-Man (continuing)

Raiden V: Director's Cut (continuing)

Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure (starting)

Yoku's Island Express (continuing)

Talk about biting off more than I can chew.  Maybe this is a better group for the entire weekend.  :whistle2:k

 
I like to try out a lot of things and figure out what I want to play. I have too much of a collection right now, and really want to enjoy it. Good luck in trying out all your stuff. I like to give mini reviews myself, but I'm just weird that way. I think a good portion of us have game collections/other collections that would take 3 lifetimes to get through.

I've seen ads with games at $70 or $75 on occasion, mainly SNES, but never as high as $90-$100.

I remember seeing this before. I didn't really pay much attention to prices back then, since being poor meant we couldn't afford it anyway.

Driveclub is actually an awesome game. Sad that they shut the servers down.

I'm doing the same. I started up Spider-Man (not continuing because of motion sickness...how lame is that) and Mass Effect Andromeda on PS4 (I played it through on X1 previously). I also have Tearaway on PS4 and a couple on X1 as well. But.....dang I am itching for a new-new game, ha ha!

I'm struggling with playing Forza Motorsport 7 on Xbox One. I wish that the controls in that game were like they are in Driveclub. Smooth as butter.

I installed Spider-Man on my PS4 late last year when I rented it from Redbox. Then, I bought a vanilla (not GOTY edition) copy a few months back and never returned. But I liked what I had played until I had to return the disc. But good luck on your quest to play those games.

That's a US ad. Prices are accurate for those games at/before launch.

I remember those days. Not fondly, as I was but a wee lad trying to save my Christmas/Birthday money in hopes of perhaps getting a new game to play.

 
Yep. There's a reason why I only ever got new games at Christmas and birthday (either gifted directly, or with saved gift money).

They were expensive enough that it wasn't the sort of thing Mom and Dad just randomly surprised us with, and I hadn't the willpower to save allowance money for months for *a* new game. So I just played Sonic the Hedgehog and Road Rash II numpty-billion times while waiting for the next Christmas to roll around.

 
Games were super high back in the day here in the states for sure. I remember paying $74.99 for SF2:Turbo at TRU, and $79.99 for K.I.Gold at K-mart. Mall based stores like Kaybee Toys were always higher for anything. Most games normally went for $60-70 though. Luckily there was a guy that sold brand new SNES games for $20 at my local Flea Market...I imagine they must've fell off the back of a truck or sumthin'.

I remember seeing SF2 (vanilla) on snes used for $40 in the newspaper classifieds and my dad and I rushed to the city an hour away to pick it up and were relieved and excited that we managed to be the first to get to it
 
"Because cartridge sizes" is beside the point. The market was supporting ~$85 games back in 1994, which equates roughly to a $150 cost today. The numbers make it quite clear how remarkable game MSRPs holding steady at $60 from 2000 all the way to today has been.

I would be perfectly fine with this gen moving to $70. 2K, sports games, and their microtransaction bullshit are all separate, more specific issues.

 
$85 price games were due to no company setting prices, so stores could charge whatever they wanted to, as I understood it

 
There's a reason that companies weren't able to maintain those insane prices.  I believe they are going to find out that $69 a game is going to be more detrimental than good.  And we'll either see quicker sales and price drops or a revert back to $59 especially with the upcoming economic climate.
