Well..
It's actually because today prices have barely changed from 1980, and the quality has skyrocketed. We call some games today "unplayable", but there actually were unplayable games back then. Hell, I remember some old Nintendo games where I was so confused as to what to do. The same shit is not happening right now.
The main problem with console back in the day was that they couldn't even come close to the standards set by PC games or arcades. Arcades back then were magic. The same problem doesn't exist today because the main competitor now is smartphones, yet, at least Sony is working on being able to have the same content and utility.
