Being a gamer is becoming ever so damn expensive. Seems to me like the console makers are forgetting who their target is. | |

Seems to me like the console makers are forgetting who their target is. Exactly. Somewhat off topic, but when I bought my 360 I did not have a HDTV. I was kind of pissed when a good portion of the writing on some games was unreadable. LOL... I have the same beef with my PS3  | |

| Having everything on the same box, you might have to choose between watching/recording a show or movie, or playing that game.
Then, for family's, mom or dad wants to watch their shows, or let the kids play a game  | |

| 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 averge income in 1980 was $15,000 a year. | |
