What price happiness? Today a top new title for your game console debuts at $49.99. But as development costs for some titles continue to climb, change may be in order — either in the price of games, or the kind of games themselves. YOU COULD BE paying an extra 10 bucks a title by the end of this year, predicted Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities who has been tracking some of the biggest players in the industry. Other analysts disagree, citing the game industry’s general reluctance to change price patterns — in either direction. But while static or cheaper prices for your games may sound great in theory, the reasons behind game pricing may make you think twice.
