**Source**: Mostly Wikipedia and various google results. The isn’t a neat overview of day 1 prices for games across all these years but the info isn’t hard to find. I just looked up the prices of some famous games (like Super Mario World) at the time etc.
**Tool**: I used the ggplot package in R.
**Smoothing method**: LOESS regression
Keep in mind that the Series X/S game prices were actually $60 in 2020 and were only raised later. It’s unusual that the MSRP of game increased during a generation so I wasn’t sure how to handle it best. Other than that, the data should be broadly correct though.
