That's spin.I know some people are mad that PS5 1st party games are going up in price, I just want to remind those of you who are in my age range that we paid just as much if not more for N64 games in the 1990's, they had nowhere near the production values, quality gameplay or length yet we paid it without much complaint because we wanted to play those games, now we get movie quality stories, great looking and playing games for what we paid 25 years ago, it just seems like an odd thing to be mad about.
Retrovolve – N64 Games Were Ridiculously Expensive When They First Came Out
GamePro magazine assists us in digging up MSRP information for various N64 games.retrovolve.com
I don't mind paying $70 for cross-gen games but it needs to stop after these games release.
I’m totally guessing, but, sony is probably losing at least 50 usd
This type of stuff is why Sony didn't pick you.
dude I totally forgot... *opens new tab to check mail* frick!!!
....Or maybe the majority just prefer physical over digital and thus based on those figures were more physical SKUs manufactured over the digital edition. Why do I say that? The PS4 didn't have a digital SKU nor did the PS3. So to assume that that market is completely ready for an all digital SKU at the same rate as a physical would could mean fewer sales.
From my position, i can tell you that although the digital SKU is cheaper, Internet connections are not reliable enough to the point where i feel like I can trust them 100%.
Sony isn't doing games full of microtransactions and post paid content, that's where most of that extra money publishers are getting is coming from. I'm not saying they won't ever do those things but they do make mostly single player story driven games and it's hard to work in backend monetization except for expansions and those aren't cheap to make.
Electronics Boutique and other retailers sold them at those higher prices brand new at launch, N64 games didn't really have a standard price often it changed on a per title basis because the amount of storage in the cartridges was different. When I got Ocarina of time I got the gold pre order version and that was $75.00
True, they just release a "new " game instead of doing DLC to get them dolares (spiderman MM).
Sony is also making more money than ever and they have multiple subscription services
I like how you left off the portion of the post you responded to where I talked about expansions....why would you do that as a response?
And who cares if their profits are too
And don't think for a second that TLOU MP won't have microtransactions or Guerrilla's MP game won't as well.
Update to the above post:
“The ratio between the Digital Edition and the disc drive model is currently something we cannot disclose at this time,” he said. “We cannot give specific information on numbers, but we can say that we plan to produce the necessary number of units to meet the demand for that model type.”
“However, we’ve never produced two different console models at the same time before so deciding on the right number and the right ratio is very hard to know. We are doing our best to predict demand.”
Sony says it’s ‘doing our best to predict’ PS5 Digital Edition demand | VGC
PlayStation plans to produce units to meet demand…

And this, people, is why trolls are losing
physical even when it costs more is still what the majority wants.
But it's getting closer.
But it's getting closer.
You took out a part I pointed to and responded by pointing that same thing out as if I hadn't said it already lol.
