Everything in life gets more expensive with time. More people are born, more industries are created, more jobs are made. If we are not willing to accept this then we will be the cause of death to the industry we love so much. Games have grown up, now its time for gamers to grow up too.


Funnily enough. Except with hardware.

For an example... PC's 10 years ago were considered "cheap" when they were only $2000. Go back 15 years and cheap was $3000.
These days. Cheap is $200-$300 which outperform those machines.

DVD drives when they first came out alone cost almost a grand... Now they're sitting around $10-$20.

Supply and Demand play a much larger role in prices than time when it comes to technology.


But...but...logic.

These people don't realise that only  a very  small portion of the console buying market thinks like them. They're out of touch.

Making consoles more expensive so you can pack in more tech isn't going to help anything.

Funny that KBG29 would start with 'console development has changed' and then go on to say we need to be willing to spend alot of money to buy consoles so they can pack more tech into it. Because that would totally help development costs.
