Interesting that Nintendo has always release @ the $200 mark.

In other words, PS3 is cheap! Stop bitching :D

Edit: Added inflation adjusted price

Your thread title says inflation is taken into account but the graph says it isn't.

Sega Genesis ftw

Are these prices Canadian? I definitely remember the PS2 costing more than $300 new.

It would be more interesting to see an inflation adjusted chart.

This one is kind of pointless.

Not really. If we assume that prices doubles every 15 years.

In today's dollar:

A SNES is actually $400
A Intellevision is about $1000

when ps2 first came out they were going for 4-500$ CAD, then a couple weeks later the price went down.

Now they are alot cheaper, i gather they will do the same thing with the PS3

haha look at the 3DO. I honestly don't even remember seeing them at Wulco back in the day. I only saw them at cash converters like a year later.

3D0/NeoGeo were inside arcade cabinets (remember those games where you had a choice of 4 games to play?). King of the Monsters, Samurai Showdown, among others. I think the original Ridge Racer (arcade style) ran on one of them.

I couldn't afford one but renting them was fantastic.

It doesn't even account for games... games for the Neo Geo, used, start at about $40 and go to over $5,000 for the ones you actually want to play (Metal Slug)

meh...I got Neo geo games on xbox
