said by james:When the SNES came out in 1990, it was $200, considering minimum wage has almost DOUBLED since then what does that say about the price of consoles? Interestingly, in 1985, the NES also cost $200, and years later, the N64 was released for $200. All those came with a single controller and a single game, just like the base system does today.
The prices haven't gone up, you're just discovering how much your parents spent on you when you were a kid.
The Intellivison cost $300 in 1980. That's like $700 today. And people gripe about the PS3. The averge income in 1980 was $15,000 a year.
