Capcom’s president and chief operating officer has said he thinks game prices should go up.
Haruhiro Tsujimoto made the comments at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Nikkei reported. TGS is sponsored by the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association, a Japanese organisation which aims to support the Japanese industry, which Tsujimoto is currently the chairman of.
“Personally, I feel that game prices are too low,” Tsujimoto said, citing increasing development costs and a need to increase wages.

Everyone: “Games are getting WAY too expensive.”
Out of touch executive: “Games are too cheap! Why are our sales going down? I promised the shareholders infinite growth!”
Games haven’t gotten more expensive since ever. Like I said above, The Original Donkey Kong for the SNES was 66 usd. It releases in 1994.
If the market could support higher prices, they’d already be charging them.
I honestly don’t care what Capcom does. I couldn’t tell you the last time I bought a Capcom game.
