People shouldn't complain about £80 games says ex-PlayStation boss
Sony veteran Shuhei Yoshida has defended the rising costs of games, as he supports the idea of variable pricing. Between the anger around Nintendo's £74.99 price tag for Mario Kart World and increased costs across Xbox games, it's clear game prices will be a big topic for months to come. GTA 6 looks set to become a key talking point in this debate, with analysts predicting it could cost upwards of £100 when it launches on May 26, 2026. Rockstar hasn't officially announced the price, but Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently stressed its commitment to variable pricing, with Mafia: The Old Country launching at £44.99 later this year. In a new interview, former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida, who recently expressed his disappointment with the Switch 2, has addressed concerns around rising game prices – and he doesn't think it's a bad thing. Speaking to Critical Hits, Yoshida expressed his support for variable pricing: 'I don't believe every game has to be priced the same. Each game has different value it provides, or the size of budget. I totally believe it is up to the publishers – or developers self-publishing – decision to price their product to the value that they believe they are bringing in.' While he believes there should be no standard price for games, Yoshida states that the most expensive titles – now priced at $70 or $80 (UK prices are expected to work out as £80, based on prior conversion rates) – are still a bargain when compared to other forms of entertainment. 'In terms of actual price of $70 or $80, for really great games, I think it will still be a steal in terms of the amount of entertainment that top games, top quality games bring to people compared to other form of entertainment,' Yoshida said. 'As long as people choose carefully how they spend their money, I don't think they should be complaining about [it].' While defining a game's worth based on its length is always messy, if you use this metric, most games outclass film and television in terms of value for money. More Trending Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, for example, is moderately priced at £50 and takes around 30-40 hours to beat. When compared to the average £15 cinema ticket for a two hour film, there's no contest. In terms of franchises like Mario Kart, which releases new games very infrequently, there's an argument the £74.99 price point for Mario Kart World is justified, based on its quality and staying power as a multiplayer title; especially given £70 titles like EA Sports FC and Call Of Duty are released every year. However, the acceptance of these price points has perhaps become difficult to swallow due to the influx of free-to-play titles. When you can play Fortnite or Apex Legends for free, the idea of paying £80 for a game suddenly looks outdated and unappealing. It remains to be seen if these increased price points will actually affect sales, but it's easy to see Yoshida's point of view – even if it's not one that will be greeted with much enthusiasm by the average gamer.

Take-Two Interactive Software (NasdaqGS:TTWO) Reports Higher Revenue But Increased Losses and Impairments
Take-Two Interactive Software recently reported a 11.3% rise in its share price over the last quarter. Despite a year-over-year increase in sales and revenue figures, the company faced a larger net loss and announced significant goodwill impairment, potentially counterbalancing broader positive market trends. During this period, key product announcements like "Mafia: The Old Country" and updates to the WWE 2K25 game lineup were made, likely adding some positive sentiment. While the market, represented by indexes like the S&P 500, saw upward momentum, Take-Two's stock movement may have also been supported by strong investor interest in tech stocks. Buy, Hold or Sell Take-Two Interactive Software? View our complete analysis and fair value estimate and you decide. The end of cancer? These 23 emerging AI stocks are developing tech that will allow early identification of life changing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. The recent developments at Take-Two Interactive, outlined in the introduction, are critical amid its announcement of a significant goodwill impairment, which may counteract positive market trends. Despite the short-term share price gain of 11.3%, the company's longer-term performance over three years shows a substantial total return of 94%, indicating robust investor confidence. However, its one-year return surpassed both the US Market increase of 11.2% and the US Entertainment industry growth of 58%, showcasing its strong relative performance. The introduction of key product announcements like "Mafia: The Old Country" and updates to the WWE 2K25 game lineup could positively impact future revenue and earnings forecasts. While revenue stands at US$5.45 billion and the company currently operates at a US$3.66 billion net loss, anticipated game releases such as Grand Theft Auto VI are projected to drive future financial growth. Analysts expect significant improvements in profit margins over the next few years, with a forecasted earnings increase reaching US$732.7 million by 2028. Despite the positive outlook, Take-Two's current share price of US$231.84 remains slightly above the consensus analyst price target of US$223.96, reflecting a share price discount of 0.03%. This suggests that the current price potentially overestimates the near-term value, even as the market generally aligns with the analysts' fair price estimation. Ultimately, the company's ability to realize revenue and earnings growth hinges on successful execution of upcoming projects and navigation of market risks.
