this guy said "likely", so it's also just a speculation. Plus, Square Enix also go for GKC than proper Switch 2 game card. You'd thought they could cover the physical publishing cost as a major publisher but turns out they too cheapened out as possible as they can compared to other smaller publishers that made "backward compatible" Switch 2 game card (Switch 1 and Switch 2 upgrade pack in one game card rather than Switch 2 standalone executable)
I bought a physical FF16 on PS5 for $24. Has that game ever been that cheap on Playstation store let alone any other platform?
No. Digital is a scam.
When digital was first taking off, people said it would be cheaper than physical because there was no manufacturing overhead. What happened to that?
Sales drops over time is not the same as actual price drops. Unless psn has regular sales... which we know they won't, games will stay full price. The ps3/ps vita stores were testament to that, although indies on ps vita went on sale quit a bit, not first party titles.
[X] Doubt
Yeah. Right. PS Store isn't going to lower their prices! Stop LYING!!!
Right when the Yen is crashing in value. Someone is living in a dream world.
Video game industries are assholes except Sega for not caring about the consequences of video game stores losing business and Kingdom Hearts 4 sucks! Digital copies are the most expensive thing ever including phone, electric, and help me God credit card bills!
The market and economics decides prices. If enough people abandon ship and Sony determines it's because of game prices, they may adjust. I highly doubt the printing of physical disks impacts their bottom line enough to drop all game prices. Competition from Steam/XBOX, as well as demand dropping off naturally over time, is far more likely.
