You include the 1996 price for the Super Nintendo, but if you were to give it's original price, adjusted for inflation, you'd end up with something in the $400 price range, even higher than the PS4.

The SNES launched in 1991 in the US at $199, inflation from 1991 to 2014 puts it at $335.36 today, but i included it to show the 'last gen' console prices, which are indeed higher than the current last-gen console prices (wii, 360, ps3) too.

Strange, I saw a similar comparison like this a few months back that said SNES was the most expensive console Nintendo ever released, when adjusted for inflation, and that it was in the $400 range. Either way, your point still stands, consoles aren't that much more today than they were then when adjusted for inflation. In some cases, they're cheaper. As for games, you have games with insanely higher production values being released for essentially the same price.
