I still don't understand why you keep trying to use stats from 10+ years ago to prove your point. You cannot compare prices of Cartridges to DVD & Bluray games. Completely different cost structure, manufacture structure and development structure......That's Common Sense.

McG explained it perfectly twice now as have several others.

Oh and a little FYI for game prices, this info is directly from EGM.

System (year) ----- Game cost in at system launch year ----------------- Adjusted for inflation in USD as of December 2013
NES (1986) -------29.99-49.99 *39.99-59.99CND-------------------- 59.79-99.65
SNES (1991) ----- 49.99-59.99 *54.99-69.99CND ------------------- 80.17-96.21
N64 (1996) ------- 49.99 *$59.99 CND-------------------------------- 69.60
PS2 (2000) ------- 49.99 *49.99 CND --------------------------------- 63.41
Xbox 360 (2005)-- 59.99 *59.99 CND --------------------------------- 67.1
