@MattGPT Hah, you beat me to it. I completely agree and share the same sentiment! I sometimes marvel at the sacrifice my parents made to get me a SNES back in the day.
Yessss, Excellent article, thanks Rich! After some very rough Google searches, a USD 299.99 Playstation on release in 1995 is around USD 640 in 2026. I realize the cost of living has increased and wages haven't budged much over the years, but would a 700-800 PS6 be all that outrageous? Perhaps because gaming has become so ubiquitous we forget how expensive consoles have always been?
