360, PS3, WiiU versions are listed at $59.99. PC versions at $49.99.

Wii U games got listed at the placeholder price of $99.99, so...non-issue?

They won't be that much. They're just protecting themselves with their lowest price guarantee thing. There's nothing to be gotten from this find. So yeah, non-issue.

I wasn't aware of that. Hopefully that is the case here.

until release dates are confirmed, retailer listings are utterly meaningless.

Basically this. I think they do this so they don't have to raise prices. But I don't know if the industry can handle another generation of pushing $60 games and then $20-40 worth of must purchase DLC to stay current for multiplayer, to get the real ending of a game, ect....

I remember after the ps4 conference, amazon said on their facebook page that all ps4 prices as of now, are placeholders.

As everyone else is saying those are just placeholders, it's much easier to refund people who order early rather than have to make them pay more later. I don't see games rising above $60, and if they do not for very long because lower sales will force them back down. $60 is already a lot compared to other media and I doubt people will stand for games being much higher, especially when some $15 downloadable games have just as much content as a full retail release. Prices should hopefully go down later down the road because since more and more people are buying games publishers can off set the loses from a lower price by having greater sales. Yes publishers could continue pricing at the same level but as the market grows the majority of new customers and semi-casual gamers(people who started out playing CoD and Gears) and they are less willing to pay a premium price than a die hard fan, thus pushing the new customers to black market deals(used games) and taking away any profits from the publisher.

Just the usual placeholder prices and release dates. Nothing to see here.

GameStop did this before the WiiU came out. Games were listed at $99.99 and the system at $999.99. They have to have a price to be in the system to pre-order. Amazon is probably doing the same thing here.

I'm pretty sure it has been confirmed that all PS4 games will be $60 and not a cent over (for the normal edition at release, of course). Well not all, but you guys know what I mean.

Yup. Locking this to avoid anyone having an unnecessary sticker-shock induced heart attack.
