Video game console prices have never gone up like they have in the last decade. Never since video games were invented.

While some consoles have been more expensive on launch when adjusting for inflation, they usually plummeted in price shortly thereafter.

It's a uniquely bad time in history to be a console gamer.

    Yeah, except all the parts to build even a midrange PC have become unaffordable.

    I am still on my GTX 1080 Ti (an EVGA FTW3 which I actually got on discount for $400 about a year after it launched) waiting for hardware I can actually afford that gives an upgrade worth spending the money for it. Nearly $1000 USD for even just a 70 series card isn't worth it at all.
