Original Wii retail price - $250 at launch. Included Wii Sports and controller.
$250 in 2006 is equivalent to about $400 today.
Wages have not kept up with inflation though, and the price of housing and everything else has skyrocketed
Very true. No disagreeing there. I just put the info for context
Follow up: WiiU retail price
- Price at launch: $300
- Price adjusted for inflation: $336
Original Switch:
- Price at launch: $300
- Price adjusted for inflation: $316
Honestly, I think anything over $325 is too expensive for this. It’s just an iteration of the previous model. It will be interesting to see what happens after the early adopters grab the initial shipments (how much will price go down, will sales drop precipitously if price does not go down enough?).

(Also, how depressing is it that the price of things has doubled in just 20 years?)
For Switch: $300 from 2017 is $388 today.
For WiiU: $300 from 2012 is $415 today.
Don't get me wrong though, the economic outlook today is bleak, I don't disagree. And it seems a lot of people think it's too expensive and it is rightfully theirs to believe so. We all need to make the best financial decisions for ourselves. At the end of the day this is a luxury product.
Ultimately I think price will be the subject of the conversation up until and after release, and only one thing will change the conversation and that is if the games are good. If Mario Kart World and DK Bananza knock it out of the park, people will not be talking about price, they will be talking about how much you need to play these games.
$250 in 1915 is equivalent to about $7,900 today.
