Call of Duty gets lower price, more studios to follow suit?

December 26th, 2008 Posted in Analyst, Business, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360

If you’ve been paying attention, you know that Activision recently lowered the price on one of it’s biggest releases of the year, Call of Duty: World at War. Well, it looks like some analysts are speculating that the mega-publisher may have started a new trend; decrease the price on major releases.

Following Call of Duty’s price reduction, Guitar Hero: World Tour and Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia followed suit. Although, if you weren’t born yesterday, you know that past-gen titles were always priced at $50, it wasn’t until this generation of consoles that brought about the $60 price point.

While this is great news that could potentially save gamers $10 here-and-there, let’s just hope that maybe this will entice enough studios to drop the prices on all of their games effectively bringing back the $50 price point.
