Games were $50 when the NES came out, why do you think they will make a $20 jump in two generations?

I would say gaming is a "cheap hobby" but it seems right in line with about every other hobby taken to the level of dedication most people in this forum do.

What kind of hobbies you think are much cheaper?

hopefully the more expensive games get, the less likely us consumers will pay to play any old game on the shelf. developers will be forced to create something worth buying instead of barbie horse adventure 6.

I golf and snowboard.  Good golf clubs and a good snowboard cost more then a new console and they are replaced more frequent, then greens fees, lift tickets, memberships and season passes are spendy as well.  Luckily my hobby of poker is profitable.

I don't think it has too much to do with inflation. Wii games are still cheap because they're last gen tech. Games for current gen systems like the 360 and PS3 cost about $10-$20 more than last gen games.

it has to do with inflation, however at this moment the cost of developing a game is quite expensive especially for the PS3 since its more complicated to develope games for it than the x360. but games should get cheaper in 2 years and not really remain at 70$ since developers have a more cost-effective technique to make games.

But inflation IS extremely important. If we had a 3% inflation, $60 today would be worth $70 in five years.

 

The Wii is cheaper because it's comparably cheaper to develop for.

Sometimes they even do release day specials where they knock off another 10 just for kicks and giggles. Yes, it is great.

Yup. The average SNES game cost $59.99, as I recall. Plus they pretty much stayed that way until they stopped being made, because there was no Greatest Hits/Player's Choice/Platinum whatever back then. I paid $79.99 for FFIII way back in the day.

Maybe because there are less brainless milkable casuals in the PC market? I say maybe...

Have you ever thought about playing hockey? that is insanely expensive.
