Gaming: a $60+ experience?

Now i'm not one to complain much, heck I don't really have much to complain about. But the prices of videogames? There just getting outrageous. For a long time games have been $60 and people have probably gotten used to it. But with the next gen systems games supposedly supposed to be made at around 40 million(?) the price will almost undoubtedly go up from $60, to arm and a leg. I have always been the type that chooses quality over quanity, its just who I am but, this new stuff just won't cut it. No, I wont stop gaming, but those devs better make the best freakin games possible if the prices go any higher than $60. At that point there wont be a hit-and-miss. It'll be hit what the public wants or else SLASH, your gone.

Of course some of these bigger corporations probably wont have to worry since they can diversify. In fact I think just about every company is trying to diversify. I dont know if this is an evolution in the business or what but when I see Square Enix making a 3rd person shooter, well you know there trying to make money somehow. Who knows really what the future might hold. Downloadable games are getting evermore popular, and there cheap(most of the time anyways). Maybe gaming will be phased out jk. But this is definitely a difficult time for everybody, and thats coming from a 15 year old.

If anything fellow gamers I would expect less and less games to be developed for the next gen(when it gets here) ang this gen will be milked and milked til' theres nothing left. Still yet I expect this generation of consoles just might outlast the aging PS2 and -cough- -cough- xbox and gamecube. What the future holds may be vey exciting, a real revolution in the way we play videogames.

My final statement is this: Since videogames are going to be way more expensive to produce in the future, developers will probably try to innovate and get the most out of this generation. That and the next generation will probably HAVE to sell well, or elso a lot of developers are gonna go outta business or be bought and consumed by the bigger corps.
