They always talk about rising costs every new generation, and I get it. It comes down to a basic balance though. Customers won't pay stupid prices, so developers need to make and get better more efficient development tools to lower their costs. Otherwise a bottle neck will take place. 59.99 is already a lot to me, if the price on games goes up again I'll have to find a new hobby.
