| Brii said: Games have barely fluctuated in price despite inflation, staying around $40-$60. Adjusted for inflation, some games could would have been around 80 bucks. I consider it lucky that, despite the increasingly expensive costs to create the games themselves, the actual price haven't gone sky high to match the budgets. |
Gaming today is much cheaper than 16 bit days when most games held at 100% and rarely dipped below 50% within a year of release. I remember seeing Super Metriod so still $50 in 1996. The PS1 started the push down in prices and reset expectations to get great games a year or two after launch for $20.
