I saw this article on Examiner.com taken from this NeoGaf forum referring to a recent investor meeting with Morgan Stanley.

It summarises that the next Fifa game (Fifa Soccer 14') will come out on both 360/PS3 and Durango/PS4. They are exploring the always online (a la SimCity) system for Fifa and that it may cost $70 if Sony/Microsoft raise their RRP maximum.

This is information from last month. I've always thought game prices will remain the same this time around but this suggests that EA are at least willing to go higher and believe they could without reducing sales too much IF (and it's a big IF) MS and Sony increase their MSRP by $10.

What do you think? Would you be willing to pay $70 retail next gen if that becomes the norm?

EDIT: I initially searched the forums and couldn't find another topic like this. I have since searched without the '$' symbol and have found a similar topic. This can be deleted if necessary.

I think if there is anything that can get away with raising the price, it is FIFA and Call of Duty. I will definitely skip FIFA 14 if they charge $69.99 and expect me to always be online. If $70 becomes the norm then waiting to buy games until the price drops will become the norm for me.
