But doesn't matter again whether it was good pay back then or good pay now, or bad pay then or now. What matters is that the average pay for the age demographic of 16-22 has been $10/hr for 20 years.

Bullshit.

what are you bullshitting?  My average pay of $10/hr

I'm basing that on my area and what all my friends made, what kids that age currently make on average.  (have cousins and younger siblings to use as base).  Looking at what my older siblings or cousins made before me.

For all our non-skilled jobs we have had it has been roughly $10/hr for the last 15-20 years.  

Bring up all the stats over teh whole U.S. you want.  For my area and kids in that non-skilled age they were making $10/hr in 1996 and are making $10/hr today in 2014.  Thus to those kids buying consoles they are more expensive now.  They require more hours of work to save up th emoney to buy the console.
