Jim Ryan, president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, discussed the selling price of video games in an interview PlayStation 5, explaining how Sony does not oblige software houses to sell a video game at a fixed cost, which is instead decided on the basis of the development costs of the title.
Jim Ryan explained: “We try to make the best video games we can and once we make it we ask ourselves at what price we have to sell them. We don't start developing with a figure in mind, calibrating the video game on it, we give ourselves a band and once realized we choose how much to sell it. I think it's right to vary, for example we did it with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy released on PlayStation 4, this thing worked very well. Sony wants to distribute video games at a budget cost like that and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which are somewhere between a stand-alone and an expansion, since that sales model works ».
