A $499 price by 2020 is not that much more than the PS1 costed when launched in 1995. |
I assume the point you're trying to make is that $499 is a good price for a console in 2017 because of inflation?
Had console gaming increased in price in step with inflation I would agree, but it hasn't. Even using 2005 as a base year we'd be spending nearly $80 on a AAA game by now if it had.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
