$70 for a damn game us too high. We are talking 1/6th of what the console itself costs.
I will go full PC if developers/publishers try for $70 a game. No lie. Ill greatly miss The Show and other PS exclusives, but I can't justify paying $70 for a game. $60 is my limit.

If console games go up so will PC gamres, guarantee it.

PC games don't cost as much as console games. They never have. The triple A titles like Skyrim will Come out at $59.99. I'm fine with that, as the other titles will usually be $49.99 and even less depending on the title. Also, you have Steam which always has great sales, even on new games.

So you think PC game prices are completely independent of console game prices? If console game prices go up, then you'll see its effects across the industry.

I think games that come out on all systems will have the same price on the PC. But PC exclusives will probably not be $70 and will most likely stay at $50/$60.

Geoff Keighley @geoffkeighley
At #SXSW panel @michaelpachter says PS4 and next Xbox games will likely cost 70 dollars, 10 dollars more than current gen.

Michael Pachter makes a living by being wrong. I really don't know why anyone listens to this assclown at this point.

Yeah but I can't fathom $70 for a video game. Hell when PS3 games made the jump to $60 that about knocked my socks off.

$60 is already too much and I play just about everything. If they go up to $70 I need to find a new hobby or I will just buy a gaming PC and download all of the games illegally. Damn greed will kill the gaming industry if it is not careful.

This is going to be a very good year in gaming. I have really enjoyed DMC and Tomb Raider already.

Tried both Dark Souls and Demon Souls. I don't have the time nor the patience to die 100 times on one damn level.

Its definitely one of the best games I've ever played. Summoning helps out a lot if you get stuck, but I'm trying not to summon online players because it takes away from the game IMO. I like to rotate games anyways so I'd like to start another one just to keep each game fresh.

For years to come over maybe, low - midrange PCs.
I think that right now if you have a PC with 16gb of ram. Water cooled i7 oced to 5ghz and a GTX690 isplenty more powerful than a PS4.
It'll be more a powerful than mid rrange PCs for a while I'll give them that.

That is top of the line rig. Not many people have a PC like that.

Also isn't as simple as the amount of ram. The type and the way its integrated and the fact you can design a game knowing exactly what specs someone has.

I am still laughing at everyone saying they were not impressed by the PS4 specs. Meanwhile developer after developer have been coming out saying just how impressive a machine it really is.

That's very true. But the article had a tone to it that made me seem he was saying it was going to be me powerful than ALL PCs fur years to come. Which is false.
Low and Midrange PCs. Yes it's very plausible.

Though price to performance ratio will always be better on consoles.

Depends on how much more exponentially steep the technology curve gets year in, year out.

I don't see anyone that is not impressed by the PS4 specs just people are realistic and say it won't be as good as top end PCs years to come which is impossible for a console to do because PC's are constantly changing and getting better. It is just a matter of time before everything is cloud based and you can run just about any game off of anything. We just need the world to adapt to higher speeds of internet everywhere quicker and let the price go down some on it.
