Consoles got cheaper over time… What happened?

There was a time when console gaming meant value. Wait a few years, and you’d see price drops, slim models, bundles, and great deals. But now? We’re seeing prices go up — not down. The PS5 Slim isn’t cheaper. The new Xbox is more expensive. And the whole idea that consoles are the “affordable way to play” is starting to slip away.
In this video,I talk about how console pricing has quietly changed over the years — and why that matters more than it seems. It’s not just about inflation or storage space. It’s about trust. Identity. And losing one of the last safe spaces in gaming.
If you’ve been wondering when consoles became premium products… yeah. You’re not alone.
