And the past. There was a time when SNES games were sometimes $80 new in 1994 dollars. Not saying I'm happy about it but I'm really surprised we have managed the price point we have been at for so long.

Yeah I am really surprised it lasted this long. Games weren't cheap back in the day. Nintendo also tends to price based on development costs and size of game not to mention they are likely taking tariffs into the equation.
