I wouldn't say gaming is becoming more expensive. Especially if you take inflation into account. N64 games regularly launched at over $60, some up to $80. With inflation that's like $95($60) to $120($80) lol. I guess it's expensive in other ways, but in terms of just game prices it's cheap, because the standard rate of $60 for a new title has been the same since the 360 launched in 2005.a |
While there has been a lot of inflation over the years, the fact is that people's perception of game prices isn't going to go away. $80 still looks like $80 even if, in terms of being power, $80 is like $50 30 years ago. Until we get to a point where dollars are spent like Japanese yen, where consumer goods start costing $1000-5000, that's not likely to change.
