Wow! Wii U is truly a competitive price when you consider inflation equates it to Dreamcast price. Ps4 is the sweetest spot ever of coarse. The federal reserve is really screwing us with this inflation. Savings from 1977 is worth a quarter of its original value. Goods are four times expensive but wages haven't even doubled. We are getting screwed by this hidden tax. It's no wonder we are not educated about these simple economics.

Great list. Missing Ps2 though.

I feel like some adjustments are in order:

Xbox One with ten years of Xbox Live Gold membership: $1098.9

PS4 with ten years of online multiplayer unlocked: $898.9

Etc.

Thanks, I made this list a few year ago so all the ground work was in place. I just had to update the inflation figure.

PS2 is at 29th.

Well the RDI Halcyon actually never made it to retail. Its also is the rarest consoles since less then a dozen are known to exist.

I don't know who the hell would pay $700 just to play masterpieces like Hotel Mario and The Faces of Evil.
