Switch 2 will be released in June, and a number of $80 games will be announced one after another.Former Sony Interactive Entertainment President Shuhei Yoshida believes that the moderate price increase of high-quality games is reasonable and is a necessary condition for the sustainable development of the industry, and players should not complain.

Recently, Shuhei Yoshida was interviewed at a Gamescom Latam event. He said that in the current situation where the game is priced at $70-80, players should not be too worried, because "Looking at the whole life, you will find that the price increase of other products is much higher than that of the game."

"For a truly excellent game, the actual price of $70 or 80, the amount of entertainment that high-quality games bring to people is still cheap compared to other forms of entertainment. As long as people choose carefully how to spend money, I don't think they should complain."

"I don't think that the pricing of each game should be the same. The pricing of each game should take into account the value and budget size it provides. Different games should not have the same price. I think the publisher or developer should decide the pricing of the game independently to reflect what they think is the value of the game."

Previously, Bill Trinen, a Nintendo North American product executive, expressed a similar view, saying that each game should be priced based on the unique experience and entertainment value it provides.

At present, as Nintendo and Xbox have adopted a $80 price tag, it is generally believed that PlayStation will follow up in the future.Yoshida Shuhei's remarks may be laying the foundation for this trend in advance.
