    1. Nintendo holding down most of the affordable consoles throughout console history.

      Would be nice to see handhelds in its own graph to see trends there between Gameboy, DS, Switch, PSP, Vita, GameGear, Neo Geo Pocket, Steam Deck, etc.

    2. SplitPerspective on

      People who do these types of charts don’t understand the concept of value proposition, and think they were smart because they “adjusted for inflation”.

      What was up with the PS3 being so expensive compared to the other models?

      Edit: According to Wikipedia, it’s introductory price was actually $499 for the 20g model and $599 for the 60g model. Where did Op get $935 from?
