Raising prices to try and “make up” for the people no longer buying your media is just going to drive more people away.
Doesn’t it make more sense to lower the price so that more people can afford or justify purchasing your product? It allows purchases to happen more virally as well, as word of mouth is the best marketing machine.
How many mobile games are successes because at 99 cents? I can recommend a game to almost anyone and they’ll at least give it a shot.
I can’t just tell people that the new Suda 51 game is good and expect them to blindly throw $60 at it.
Because money.
I Got Thrown in Microsoft 'Jail' For Taking Pictures Of Nothing →
There are a lot of secrets that come with a brand new console. Last night at the Forza 5 event Microsoft pulled me aside for taking a picture of a cabinet and a laptop. And, interestingly, I wasn’t even violating any rules because, conveniently, no photo rules were stated. Still, I’ll never have those 10 minutes back.Lol Microsoft.
A cabinet and a laptop.
A cabinet and a laptop…
A cabinet and a laptop…?
Really Micronope?
They kept making insanely lavish and nonsensical displays of spectacular whizz-bang, despite that being exactly the kind of game most susceptible to trading after one week because there was nothing left to do with it. And now they’re discovering that putting so many insanely expensive eggs into one fragile and easily breakable basket is maybe not the most sustainable business model ever. So forgive me if I find myself not caring one bit when the industry complains that it’s just so hard to sell six million copies of Gears of Medal of Battle of Uncharted Angry Dudes VII in the first week and that’s why they need to take away used sales for the entire platform.
