Console prices to drop - Capcom

Good news for Street Fighter fans, as publisher predicts dawn of bargain software and hardware
Capcom has predicted that the price of console hardware and software will drop over the next year.

The firm is set to publish

Lost Planet 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead Rising 2, Monster Hunter Tri and more this year.

In an investor Q&A;, Capcom was asked: What is your outlook for the current generation of game consoles and other hardware?

A spokesperson replied: "We believe that further declines in prices of consoles will cause a slow decline in prices of software as well.

"But we expect to see a rebound in software prices when the next generation of consoles goes on sale."

Fingers crossed, hey readers?

capcom seem to be doing things right in terms of pricing. haven't seen a standard version of a capcom game cost more than £30 for just over a year now.

Talking of awesome Capcom games. Tatsunoko vs Capcom is £25 in asda at the mo. Want something to tide you over till Super Street Fighter 4 or a sequel to Marvel vs Capcom 2, or just a bloody good fighting game. Go now. it's a damn bargain!!!

How much for RE5 Gold Edition then?

It's £25 on Amazon too Smile

Bit of a no-brainer about the console prices dropping really.

Wow... There must be fewer people using Shopto.net than I thought, TvC is less than £22 on there.

As for Capcom, they are stating the obvious but until they manage to make some more good games for the Wii (unfortunately the only current-gen console I own Sad ) then I'm not really fussed what they talk about

Sod that, it's been £17.95 at Zavvi for a week or so!

so what you all waiting for!

Hmm, I might just wait a bit longer and see if the PS3 gets anymore price cuts if further cuts are possible.


Also if the price for the average video game goes above 100$ (Australian) next gen then I'm out, I'm not shelling out that much for a maximum of 15 hours gameplay which is the average time span nowadays.

a lot of people imported the japanese version. so they've had a year to hone their skills.

I got it on Saturday. It's funny getting used to weak/medium/strong attack as opposed to weak/medium/strong Punch AND kick. LOVE the BOTP characters Smile

Got my zavvi copy on Saturday Smile

I'm after another ps3 or 360 for my bedroom so hopefully prices will go down.

Bagged mine today thanks to Art what's his name on the Top 10 games thread. Looking forward to getting it later in the week Smile

Monster Hunter Tri is another game I'm looking much forward that too. And hopefully Dead Rising 2 will be a belter as well. Loved the original
