Could PS4 games really be £65/$100?
Clicking the link above ^ will direct you to the Amazon.com page for Watch_Dogs, where you can select the version you want based on which console you want. The current-gen console versions will set you back around $60, the standard asking price for a game, but the PS4 version is shown as being a whopping $99.99. Granted the page appears to have a placeholder release date, but it's the first PS4 game that's been given a price on the site.
Could we really be looking at £65/$100 games? Here's hoping this really is just a placeholder...
Further investigations reveal [url=http://www.edge-online.com/news/ps4-games-will-cost-no-more-than-60/]this article[/url] which states [i]"Sony is aiming for a ceiling price of $60 for headline PS4 releases"[/i], but this simply says they will "aim for" the price. What are the odds the ceiling could be a colossal $100? Amazon representatives have commented on Facebook that the price is in fact just a placeholder, as they don't know the full cost just yet. We'll have to keep our eyes open on this one methinks.

The demand is for better graphics, more options, and more features, yet no one wants to pay for it. An increase in graphical fidelity means more man-hours, and if they want to keep game production within a reasonable time-frame that means hiring more people. You can't seriously expect coders to work twice as fast as they already do just to produce more content for you - more people are needed. You all want these things, but no one wants to pay... New release 360/PS3 titles are already $100+ in Australia :)
