Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida commented on the rising prices of video games, asserting that complaints about $80 games are unfounded given their value. He noted that product prices in general have risen over time, which means video game pricing was likely due for an adjustment. Yoshida referenced the historical context of game prices and mentioned that not all games will see increases, as companies can utilize variable pricing strategies. He emphasized that a high-quality game can provide substantial entertainment value for its price.
Not every game will become more expensive, though. Variable pricing in gaming has existed since the beginning, and it's going to continue into the future.
A 'really great' game that's priced at $70 or $80 would be a 'steal in terms of the amount of entertainment' provided, and the quality of the experience compared to other forms of entertainment.
