PS3 games to be more expensive than expected?

Japanese site Impress Watch is stating that the price of PlayStation 3 games is going to be higher than expected, going for 8,800 to 9,800 yen ($78-$85), rather than the expected $60. This is supposedly due to a change in strategy for Sony, who was originally hoping to price the games closer to the price point of most Xbox 360 games. As part of the new strategy, Sony will also be focusing on selling more of the 20GB PS3 model and more aggressive pricing as opposed to pricing the hardware higher but selling the games for less thanks to lowered royalty fees.
