That's nearly 100$ American. There's no way that's right, considering Nintendo has said themselves that their first-party games won't exceed 50$ American...

is this just a guess at the price ?

 

[Recusant]

I certianly hope so.

 

[stu]

ye but also some game sites have ps3 game prices when they sony havent even comfirmed the price for their games

 

[Recusant]

Speculation, my friend. I've heard anywhere from 50$ to 80$. Games cost more to make on new consoles. It's like DS games. Nintendo charges 30$ for their games, but most other makers charge 35$ to 40$. It's up to the developer.

well if there target market are new gamers as well as hardcore gamers

i cant see new gamers paying £50 for a new game

 

[Recusant]

I wouldn't pay 100$ American for a new game. I just might have to give up gaming.

 

[stu]

as you may have seen old ppl in the wii vids

can you really see like 60+ paying £50/$100 for a new game?

 

[Recusant]

I can't see very many people at all paying 100$ for a new game. Not unless you're rich, anyway.

they have got the ps3 games at exactly the same price as the wii games

From site above:

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Pre-order Due for release on 25/12/2006
our price: £49.99 Delivered

Probably a guess at the price (if they get people to buy them for that price they won't lose money when the final price is announced)

it does include shipping (though i don't know what that usually runs in the uk)
