Sony has confirmed to ShackNews that PS4 titles purchased at retail will cost $59.99. This makes fans very happy considering that we all thought that we would be paying in limbs for new games. If anything through this whole announcement process we have found that Sony is definitely on the consumers side of things. However, there may be a loophole present, as the quote reads, “All four [launch/launch window] titles, Killzone: Shadow Fall, DriveClub, Knack, and Infamous: Second Son are all $59.99.” Is this vagueness within specifics foreboding for possible changes later on? Who knows, we’ll just have to wait and see. This news was announced after Xbox One has also claimed the same pricing for titles, however, I don’t know how truthful their statements are. IGN spoke about the rise in pricing over the years in console gaming stating “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.”
