Definitely it will. Post holiday season games could fly off the shelves with a $10 or $15 reduction. Now that all three consoles have a decent install mass they could move units with a lower price and probably make up the difference in profit w/ higher volume. » Login to reply to this

Kind of at least console games have been known to be more. For example The N64 games where normally around $60. Though I would say if things started to get hard for developers we will see more expansion packs which is more popular for PC games than consoles. With a expansion at least you know you have a market and have a lower developement cost. » Login to reply to this  DemBones79 (226)    Dec 31, 2008 - 07:46 am | Edited on Dec 31, 2008 - 07:49 am The N64 games were an exception. Being cartridge-based, they cost a lot more to make than the CD-ROMs of the Playstation and even the proprietary format of the Dreamcast. Whereas blank optical media is quite cheap (less than $1), Nintendo's cartridges cost a good deal more to make (plastic housing, plus PCB, plus memory chips all add up). Nintendo made just as much on each game sold as Sega and Sony, so it's not like they went all philanthropic on us just because their medium of choice cost more. They just transferred that cost to the consumer instead. » Login to reply to this
