All hardware eventually gets more expensive over time anyway due to inflation.

The PS4's $399.99 is the equivalent to the PS1 launching at $299.99.

Not all hardware. It was pretty normal in the 90s to pay $2000 - $3000 for a decent PC, nowadays it's usually $800 - $1200.

Average prices for TVs, monitors, mass storage, RAM, "music players", "movie players", cameras and other entertainment devices have also gone down a lot over the years.
