They're peaking at around £50 currently for new games. Imagine how much prices would come down if there were no manufacturing costs, no reseller profit.. That £80 extra for the XB1 would soon be recouped by paying half the price of a PS4 disc. Doesn't seem such a huge price difference any more eh?
You would think that but 9 times out of 10 (maybe even 10) the full digital versions of the game are more expensive than the disc version and even months after when the disc version has come down in price the digital version is still at max level,
Now i know steam has big sale event where the prices do really drop but steam is different to live/psn and even in a recent interview with major nelson (xbox dude) he was asked about big sales like steam and if microsoft would be doing the same and he kind of dodged the question so i doubt they will be having discounts worth mentioning
