Was just said on the investor calling: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=516274

Starting at the start of the gen at $69 and then slowly going down to $59.

Edit: Maybe it was premature. It was just a hypothetical example?! I don't know what's real any more!

Fuck them.

game console industry is well on it's way to becoming the next comic book industry

noobasuar · Feb 26, 2013

LOOOOOOOL let the fun begin

NullPointer · Feb 26, 2013

I'm shocked and awed.

zerokoolpsx · Feb 26, 2013

They will be the only one doing it.

JWong · Feb 26, 2013

He was talking about the PS3 launch.

Spongebob · Feb 26, 2013

Gaming is dead.

Fuck you EA, fuck you!

Oh shit.

Future PhaZe · Feb 26, 2013

there isn't a game on the planet I'd pay 69 for

Baconsammy · Feb 26, 2013

So now I'll just add 2 months to the release date of any EA title I want.

Izick · Feb 26, 2013

Nabs · Feb 26, 2013

I can't believe it.

lol

Thugnificent · Feb 26, 2013

Spit take.

DrFunk · Feb 26, 2013

Mwahahahaha

Next gen is HERE

The Smoking Bun · Feb 26, 2013

Go sit on a cactus EA!

RoKKeR · Feb 26, 2013

Speculation, not confirmed, reactionary thread title, etc.

Really?

Jack_AG · Feb 26, 2013

Well that scratches EA off my list

Soi-Fong · Feb 26, 2013

Fuck me... Goddamn...

vilmer_ · Feb 26, 2013

I thought he was just using this as an example...

JeffGrubb · Feb 26, 2013

That's not true. On the investor call they said this "could happen" at launch only.

Mpl90 · Feb 26, 2013

Hell yeah!!!111!!!

EDIT: Wait, just a theory? Not listening directly what's being said, so...let's wait.

Yawnier · Feb 26, 2013

Wouldn't be the first time games were $69 (at least here in Canada anyways).

Another reason for myself to not buy games immediately at launch anymore, at least ones published by EA.

PetriP-TNT · Feb 26, 2013

Games are already 69 euros new here in Finland but yeah, I'd never pay 79 euros for any new game.

MikeE21286 · Feb 26, 2013

Awful. Awful. Awful.

That's not viable.

Absolutely 100% wrong direction.

JdFoX187 · Feb 26, 2013

The market has already spoken in relation to $59.99 games, with massive sales a month after launch. $69.99 will be an even bigger joke. Jesus these people just don't get it.

JaseMath · Feb 26, 2013

A $70 entry price on top of nickel and dime DLC? Fuck that lol

NotLiquid · Feb 26, 2013

No wonder they overpriced Wii U eShop titles.

zomgbbqftw · Feb 26, 2013

Someone wasn't listening properly.

He was talking specifically about PS3 games early on before they settled on $59.99.

kadotsu · Feb 26, 2013

They probably misspoke and meant to say: Everyone's new price point.

ramoisdead · Feb 26, 2013

Welp, no EA games for me then if I jump next-gen. No biggie.

EDIT: Is what I would say, hypothetically speaking.

Spongebob · Feb 26, 2013

LOL.

This industry is going to collapse.

Dusky · Feb 26, 2013

Fuck.

Uno Venova · Feb 26, 2013

Premature thread man.

Spazznid · Feb 26, 2013

Lololololololololo

Hellsing321 · Feb 26, 2013

EA really tries its hardest to make sure I never buy another game from them ever.

Strike · Feb 26, 2013

Oh good, more waiting then.

Gahiggidy · Feb 26, 2013

Not true....

This is what happens when people make threads before getting the facts straight.

darkwing · Feb 26, 2013

dat next gen price

Jb · Feb 26, 2013

Welcome to France, fuckers.

Xater · Feb 26, 2013

Official price for games here already is 69.99.

Carl · Feb 26, 2013

EA in sales plummeting shocker.

AcceptableGhost · Feb 26, 2013

Welcome to next-gen.

Aeana · Feb 26, 2013

Aeana's new price point: same as the old one. So I guess I get to wait longer.

Certinty · Feb 26, 2013

EA are the cause for almost every bad thing in gaming I swear.

No EA games interest me a huge deal so they can go fuck off with those prices.

RoboPlato · Feb 26, 2013

Starting higher then planning on lowering it? So they're just going to screw early adopters until the install bases are bigger. Goddammit
