I'm so sick of the Neo-Geo argument. It's nothing but a stupid, uninformed comparison.
Another little interesting 'fact'. The Nintendo released in 1985 was $300. Adjusted for inflation for 2005 and that is $532.40. I was just a kid back then but I had no problem getting my parents to buy one for me. Just something to consider in a day where $200 can't even feed one person for a month anymore. |
They bought it for you because it was $200, not $300.

I don't know where you're getting these falses figures. Perhaps you're just 100 dollars off today. PS2 was released for about $300 in the States, and ¥39,800, which is about $350.

You might laugh at wikipedia as a source for info, but it's certainly better than no source.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
