More PS Store Users Preordering Ghost of Yotei's $80 Edition
As video game price hikes are being hotly debated, we've noticed that the pricier Ghost of Yotei $80 edition is ahead of its standard version in PS Store preorder charts. Earlier today, reports popped up that the game quickly climbed atop Sony's digital preorder charts in dozens of countries, and interestingly, it's the more expensive version that players want more. Ghost of Yotei PS Store preorders suggest that price hikes are unlikely to hurt blockbusters The more expensive version we speak of is Ghost of Yotei's Digital Deluxe Edition which mostly offers additional in-game cosmetics. The most notable items this version contains is an early unlock of Traveler's Maps and a sword kit. Yet, more players seem happy to fork out an additional $10 for the Digital Deluxe Edition. I've checked PS Store charts in several countries including the U.K., U.S., Australia, and Malaysia, and found that this was a common theme in preorder charts across all these storefronts. I'm no analyst, but seeing this pattern makes me wonder if major AAA blockbusters will see any negative impact on sales stemming from price hikes. Sony hasn't announced a price increase for its games like Microsoft and Nintendo have yet, but eventually, it's expected to follow suit. After all, the PlayStation maker was the first company to announce $70 games this gen. The post More PS Store Users Preordering Ghost of Yotei's $80 Edition appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.
