The price of everything is out of control, because it turns out the people who set wages have a different idea of inflation than the people that set prices.

This is the only gen I can think of where console prices have gone up from what they were at the start. And that's before you get tariffs from everyone's favourite orange dickhead.

And PC component prices are even worse.

    A big part of console/computers getting cheaper has been thanks to decreasing transistor sizes (aka moore's law). But we're seeming reaching the physical limits of how small transistors can get, and as a result hardware won't get cheaper simply from being remade with smaller chips.
