It's true that the price of peripherals has exploded and the real cost of a console is a lot higher than the advertised cost ( not including extra games).
Seriously, back when the PS2 was king and few ppls played on the net, the only extra cost was one extra controller...

There is also the memory card, but if you avoid the peripheral requiring games, the games are the only extra cost.

Although that also applies to the systems now if you just want another controller and the games.
