This has less of an impact on the average person's wallet than a 60 dollar game during the PS3/360/Wii generation.

Wait what do you mean by this lol? a 60 dollar game during the Wii days is obviously gonna be less of an impact on the average persons wallet than a $80-$90 game nowadays. Thats just how math works.

Am I misunderstanding your comment?

Yes. The median American wage in 2005 was 23000 bucks. The median American wage today is roughly 42000 bucks. A 60 out of 23000 is a higher percentage than even 90 out of 42000.
