HappySqurriel said it better than before I did.
Inflation on video game stuff is irrelevant. Electronics not only get exponentially better, but cheaper. A mid-range PC costed $2500 10 years ago, that costed $3500+ 20 years ago, that now costs $1000. Even though the mid-range PC is 1000x better, the price is also lower.
Video games are the same way. The price is always the same, as income goes up with inflation, on a similar basis. Therefore, it doesn't matter. That makes the relevancy of a $100, $50, or $200 drop just as important as it did 5, or 10 years ago, if not more important.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
