Absolutely. The price of games hasn't really increased over the years. Heck I remember paying $80 at retail for an N64 game. Development costs a lot and I'm not surprised they release DLC to help recoup the money.
@Rob_230 yeah Death Standing doesn't seem to be selling much although I saw the article stating the team behind it were content with the figures. Seeing Xenoblade at #1 is very impressive however.
I'm not interested in playing past generation games on new hardware. Whatever resources Sony is using to enable backwards compatibility, I'd prefer they'd focus on making the new hardware as cutting edge as possible. I understand the convenience of being able to play older titles on one machine, but the hype surrounding that possibility doesn't resonate with me.

Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 for a Brand New PS5 Game?

Re: Talking Point: Do You Agree with PS5's Approach to Generations?
@playstation1995 I understand what you're saying but the label of "PS5 exclusives" literally means its only available on that console. Just semantics.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Agree with PS5's Approach to Generations?

Whatever resources Sony is using to enable backwards compatibility, I'd prefer they'd focus on making the new hardware as cutting edge as possible.
