They better find a way to drop the price at least $69.99 if they expect people to actually buy it. With two systems at $299 paying a third of that price just for one game is a bit much.
That’s not to say that people won’t buy it. I just don’t think they can count on massive sales with a price that high. I’ll bet the farm, though, that Japanese gamers will be lining up in record numbers for this game regardless of the price.
I doubt it’ll cost that high when it hits US. But if anything, it’ll at most be $70.
