Fascinating chat I found on Twitter. I'm really surprised that my beloved SNES cost as much at launch as the WiiU.

It's also interesting that the PS3, while still very expensive compared to its contemporaries, wasn't near as expensive as a lot of predecessors. (And ya wonder why no one bought those systems…)

Interesting to note that overall, Nintendo usually seems to be the cheapest console available nearly every gen.
On April 3, 2016, Court Records Forums experienced a miracle upon that day.

For some reason looking at that chart makes me feel more inclined to get a Wii-U

If I wanted to buy any of these systems I'd just have to save my snacking money for a full month.

Here is original article this was taken from. It doesn't add more than the graph, but it's still a pretty interesting read.

I sent that very picture to someone on IRC, who was complaining that the Wii U wwas way too expensive, and that it was typical Nintendo being greedy... well, he didn't say squat else after that. :grossburg:

What I'm really curious about will be the price of the competitors next consoles... will they keep on making even more expensive consoles each gen, or are they going to try a different road? I've read rumours and so-called reports on subscription-based schemes, to a focus on services and such.

As for Nintendo, they once again prove they want to do stuff their own way.
