You're getting into a sticky price fallacy. Keynes would be so proud.

Well obviously I mean adjusted for inflation. If in five years $10,000 only buys a tomato, then we'd have to adjust accordingly. But that doesn't work well since inflation goes up and salaries aren't catching up nearly so fast since we have a digital printing press than can make 100 trillion appear in one day if they want to. So even with inflation, the console price range may stay roughly the same.

There is a long and well established price range for console buyers, and it's around $200-$300. PC gaming is secure again, because the next gen consoles I predict won't be nearly so competitive (subsidized). It's been only the past two years that PC's have really started pulling away, hardware-wise. I don't see any serious grumblings for the next gen consoles either.

Political freedom can only be preceded by economic freedom which is preceded by monetary freedom.
