Is that really relevant? I would think what you can get today from a competitor for the same price or less is much more would be much more relevant
Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period
Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 1 day agoWell… while the price of the Switch 2 certainly causes sticker shock, when you adjust for inflation it’s only about as expensive as the SNES was at launch and is in fact cheaper then the NES was at launch. However, in the PS3’s case when adjusted for inflation it was about 1.5 times as expensive as the SNES at launch (for the 20 gb version, the 60 gb was double).

This tired old argument completely ignores the fact that consumer purchasing power was much higher back then. Everything costs a higher portion of our paychecks now, especially housing, healthcare, and education.
