Do you have stats to back this up?

Reports show that by the end of 2008 Fallout had sold 4.7 million copies while stalker was still at 970,000, and the gap has only increased since then....

Games are bound to get more expensive, just like movies, development costs continue to rise in order for a game to (in most cases) rise above the copious competition.

You either have to charge more and have a bigger budget well marketed game, or come out with something new and inovative and let the public spread the word.

Regardless, prices will rise for games as they become more and more common in the average household.
