$300 isn't a huge number, if people aren't willing to buy your product at $300, it means most likely it doesn't have great mass appeal to begin with.

Even the Wii, which was $250 at launch, with inflation taken into account, that's a shade over $295 in 2015 dollars. 


Inflation doesn't matter to the consumer. People don't look at a sticker price and go "Well, it's X amount of dollars, but... given inflation bla bla bla." That's not now it works. People assign STICKER PRICES to certain things and don't budge from it. 

 

Game consoles will never sell well if they go beyond a certain price point, inflation or not.
