Dave Perry's piracy solution: Be better than free
Apr 21st 2009 9:26PM (Joystiq)I really think cutting the price to about $30-40 would allow more gamers to purchase a greater number of new games. I would assume that this would increase initial sales numbers and could deter gamers from used games (by closing the difference b/t new and used prices and hurting trade-in value therefore making it more valuable to keep a greater number of games.)
Generally speaking, there will always be people who try to get it free just like there are people who aren't interested in gaming. I think that a price drop coupled with incentives, such as downloadable content, will increase the number and retention of games in the hands of gamers.
