The Dreamcast was only $199 at launch. No problems there.

As for this list, overall it isn't too terrible. There are a few that may seem off - I think the 360 was placed higher than it should have been, mainly to give Microsoft a nod for its role in the industry. The same may have been done with Sega and the Genesis, though I could be underestimating it.

As for the top 5, I couldn't say. I wasn't there when the 2600 came out... (otherwise it looks good)

Ahh you're right I must be remembering something wrong, I remember wanting one but my folks complained it cost too much, I dunno why I was thinking it was more then the PS2.  Funny thing is my folks said the Dreamcast was too much but bought the Gamecube at launch for 200 + 50 for the extended store warranty + 50 for Luigis Mansion.
