Not everyone can afford a $60 price tag at launch, and a $10 increase with the next generation may not seem like much, but those costs add up. Increase prices too much, gamers will unify and boycott a game, many of them likely waiting until the title decreases in price over time before acquiring it. However, there is room for a middle ground, even in the business world. The employees for these companies also need income, and if the companies go out of business because they refused to jack up prices out of some false sense of altruism, developers no longer have jobs and players no longer get their games.

Along those same lines, video game developers have been largely quiet regarding the possibility of increases to next-gen game prices, though, according to Phil Spencer, gamers will decide next-gen game prices with their purchases (or lack thereof).
