Want to know something crazy? I remember PS1 games usually being $40 which was much lower than N64 games. With inflation. Those PS1 games in 2025 would be 80 bucks. However while it wasn't good even then, I think wages with the cost of living are more aligned than they are now. |
Yeah but tech prices drop far faster than inflation. That's why tech costs less today vs decades ago when including inflation. Inflation is hopeless against the very quick pace of tech advances.
Of course now we are seeing video game companies get greedy and reverse that trend, with just in a few years game prices having gone from $60 norm to $70-$80 now. It's unfortunate. Games absolutely have no reason to be costing more than $60 these days, except that it lets companies rake in way more profits.
