Inflation Flashback: The Cost of Play
Super Nintendo Console (1991 → 2025)
1991 Price: The Super Nintendo launched at $199.
2025 Price: A modern console (PS5 / Xbox Series X) costs $499–$549 — roughly a 2.5× increase for the same joy of entering a new digital world.
Inflation rarely announces itself with spectacle; it quietly lengthens the shadow your dollars must cross to reach the same joy. And in a currency that thins over time, even play — that small, necessary rebellion of the human spirit — becomes more costly in the hours of life required to earn it.
