Why are Xbox 360 games still so expensive

I still cannot understand why new Xbox 360 games are still around £40-45 when it is no longer the latest console out. It has been out for 10 years and we now have Xbox One and PS4. I know majority of new games there are around £50-55+
I also saw an advert for a new Assasins Creed game which I think is for PS4 and it was at £42 in some places, yet Fifa 16 on Xbox 360 at some places is £45. How on earth can a game on a lesser console cost the same or even more compared to a latest one?

I'm not a cheap skate or anything at all. It's the principle of it! I just find it all very silly, for me new Xbox 360 games should be £30

Milk the t11tty, before it flaps.

I guess studios have to spend the development time, which for that sort of skill set is hefty (and warranted) salaries to make the product.

And given the price of ps4/xbox1's although not super high (depending on your income) are still substantial, so there's still a big market out there for the big titles.

They will price them at a point to entice people to upgrade to the next generation.

I have both a ps4 and a one and I'd still be happy with the last generation consoles though given most games come out on them. The graphics increase hasn't been worth the investment yet for me, I'm an early adopter though.

you'll probably find that more people still have the 360 than the one, so the market is still going to be there for the games.
