The Minsky Moment

Nintendo already hit $80 for flagship first party title games.  There is no way GTA is released under $79.99.  BOA has nothing to do with it.  The real question is whether they go to $99.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

Which still seems silly, considering that the revenue from GTA5's Online service dwarfed the revenue from selling the game.
We are born dying, but we are compelled to fancy our chances.

From what I can tell, it's about 50-50.  5 billion each from game sales and GTAVO
GTAV sold over 225 units.  A $5 swing in average sales price is over $1 billion incremental revenue.
