The CEO of Activision, Robert Kotick, has confirmed this morning that their first Playstation 3 games will retail at $60 in North America, the same price as Xbox 360 launch titles last year.

"We have not seen a lot of consumer resistance at the higher price points and we expect that all of our next-generation products will be launched at $60 price points," said Kotick.

Although Activision's statement doesn't confirm the price of PS3 games across the board, it's potentially good news for fan boys as many were expecting to pay up to $80 for high-end games.

Activision have announced a number of titles for the PS3, including Call of Duty 3 and Tony Hawk's Project 8.
