I recently read an article wondering if the US is ready for a $500.00 gaming console.
Then I see this video where, back in 1977, the 2600 would cost over $800 in 2019 currency.
I'm looking at replacing my 7 year old gaming PC which will probably cost me close to $5K if I want a decent rig.
Think about all the money you spent over the years on new video games and now most of us on here spend even more on collecting old ones.
Are our priorities out of whack?
Nah!

^Heh!
Pretty neat presentation indeed! Like how all the companies kept on overlapping each other. Did they skip out on several though, like the Atari 5200 and Jaguar?

Yes I thought it was neat. I think it is remarkable how Atari grew and that it is still #5 on that video in 2019. Clearly, Sony and Nintendo have really eaten the market but it is remarkable that Atari still shows up so many years later.

Plus they're coming out with at least one future console to add to their sales  It won't be huge though, I'm sure. |

I wonder how much of a blip that will make on this graph! And then we have Intellivision coming back with the Amico!

I recently read an article wondering if the US is ready for a $500.00 gaming console. Said article is forgetting the PS3 then... sort of. The original proposed launch price was $599 but that ended up being the cost of the more expensive 60GB version. |
