Capcom Says Games Will Become Cheaper

- by Leon Thomas -

Capcom recently predicted that console games will soon become less expensive. Hurray!

In an investor Q&A session, Capcom said they expect software for current generation game consoles to get cheaper. During the session, Capcom was asked about its outlook for the console software market. "We believe that further declines in prices of consoles will cause a slow decline in prices of software as well," a representative for Capcom said. "But we expect to see a rebound in software prices when the next generation of consoles goes on sale."

The session also also allowed Capcom to respond to reports that many of their titles will be delayed. "This was a strategic decision. Capcom uses an approach that combines management and development to reach various decisions. Consequently, we would not decide to postpone the launch of a title for reasons that involve only the game development side of our business."
