THQ makes some predictions about the next generation of consoles and predicts games could reach $100 as a regular price.

Quote:
"It would be horrible," says THQ's Danny Bilson. "It still costs us a fortune to make games on this platform. If they're going to up the scale, up the art, up the content, I don't know how to make that and sell it to anybody for under $100 a game."
To put things in perspective, THQ lost a lot of money last year although not at the level EA lost but at the same time Microsoft and others did use the "HD" excuse in 2005 as a reason to charge games from the old $50 price to the current $60 price on PS3/Xbox 360.

Game prices could go up but THQ also ignores how much money is gained from DLC and "collector" editions of games that has occurred during this generation of games.

For some bad news, Bizarre Creations (Bond Bloodstone, Blur, Geometry Wars) expected to shut down within a few weeks due to no buyers after Activision declared they wanted to get rid of the studio.

Joining them will be Propaganda Games (Tron Evolution, Turok) since Disney has no interest in keeping the studio or selling. Big rumor is due to abysmal sales and interest from those games led Disney to shut down the studio.
