With the new generation of consoles, the cost of games is increasing.
Jim Ryan, head of PlayStation, said the PS5 game justifies the £ 70 price tag given.
In an interview with the telegramSony executives said they were forced to feel that this was a fair price for games on brand new hardware and offered as much entertainment as any other media.
“Yes, yes, yes [think £70 is a fair price]”Ryan said.
“If you measure the amount of entertainment provided by video games such as Demon’s Souls compared to other forms of entertainment, I think it’s very easy to compare.”
Ryan was also asked if the price of the game from Sony’s first-party lineup would be higher. This is what PlayStation executives called “resolutely wrong,” but didn’t say if Naughty Dog’s next PS5 title would cost £ 70.
“I have no predictions about something that may or may not happen in the future,” he said.
“The report on the argument that we considered raising the price of first-party games in this launch window was clearly wrong.”
There are also reports that Microsoft is trying to raise the price of its first-party lineup...
