MODERATORS
Legend of Zelda and other big name NES titles were $60 USD back in the mid to late 80s. That's over $170 today. Average NES games were $40 back then, which is still around $115 today. Discounted $20-$25 games are closer to today's $60-$70 standard edition titles.
Yes, they were cartridges with chips back then, but prices are a lot better now for a game. Today's $100+ games are for the ultra/deluxe editions.
That said, I usually don't buy games at launch unless it's something from like Rockstar.
Do you not understand how basic math works?
Like, this is seriously some addition and multiplication 4th grade stuff.
Do you genuinely think games today sell fewer copies than games of the NES era?
You must be pleasant to be around.
Just ignore the grand poopahs who start a discussion by launching a volley ad hominem.
