High PS4 prices upsets - Aftonbladet

New console generation means higher prices at stake.

But in England you also noticed a significant difference in the pricing of games for the Xbox and Playstation One fourth

In most cases is it more than a hundred on the console exclusive games.

Why are the games for the Playstation 4 more expensive than the Xbox One?

That is the question that Eurogamer tried to sort out this week. In England, the man namely marked by a significant price difference between the two consoles. Microsoft recommends the English dealers to price the exclusive Xbox One games around 50 pounds (536 SEK), while the PS4-exclusive “Killzone: Shadow case” is 60 pounds (643 SEK). Now is rarely the dealers to the recommendations, but there is still no doubt that PS4 games are more expensive.


200 more expensive – to PS4

It is confirmed not least by the two consoles’ respective online stores. According to Eurogamer costing Xbox One games 45 pounds (480 SEK) while the Playstation 4 Park at 53 pounds (568 SEK).

Since Xbox One has not yet been released in Sweden, you can not compare between the brackets here, but it can be noted that the prices of games for the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 differs greatly in some dealerships. Cnet takes 399 SEK for “Battlefield 4″ for the PlayStation 3, but do they want it for the Playstation 4 is forced to lay out an additional 200.


“Insulting”

Sony’s online store, the difference is minor – but both rates of return higher. Where costs “Battlefield 4″ whole 599 SEK for PS3, 629 kr for the PS4.

In England, many outraged at the high prices at online stores. Tim Kane , an upset Eurogamer readers, have difficulty understanding the pricing and are looking to ignore buying Playstation fourth

– It’s insulting that they would charge us more money for digital purchases that cost less to deliver, and that has less value to the customer because they have zero resale value.

UPDATE: According to Eurogamer now have prices for downloadable games synced between Xbox and Playstation One fourth
