That really is going to depend on the economy: people can't afford to shell out $60 a game every time they make a AAA title. Unemployment globally is still high in many countries including US, so it's really going to be harder to push that $60 tag without some added value incentives attached.

...And as usual we'll be priced gouged in Australia by both companies with a 50% price hike even tho our dollar is on parity with the US.
Nobody seems to get it. Complete games cost over a hundred dollars. I would love to believe that the extra dlc gets developed after the game, but with day one dlc, its evident that games are being skimped, chopped up, and sold for more money right after they are released. Im really starting to get annoyed at xbox dashboard advertising too. Come on, state farm insurance ads when im browsing through my xbox? Surprising that we pay for xbox live too. Man microsoft really has the market for greed. This current gen might be my last gaming gen. The industry is just gone. Its all about greed now. And with the xbox1.... Dont get me started.
