While I agree that inflation has to be taken into account, the way they calculate it is flawed. I mean we are saying the SNES launched at close to that of a PS4, today. But by the time the PS9 is releasing at ~$399, are we going to be saying that it's a complete steal since the SNES will have launched at "$500" by that time? |
It's not really going to work like that. Also, your point about the Wii U makes it seem like without the gamepad, the system would have remained at the same power level, when I think that isn't necessarily the case. I think that the general pricing would have been pretty close to what it started with, especially given that if it didn't have the gamepad, the way it would have to differenciate from competitors would lessen, so they would need to emphasize more of its power-to-cost ratio.
