That graph doesn't convince me. On the relative prices one, the $600 is still the third most expensive system released after 1986 (with the NES and the biggest mainstream jump in video game sales.) Also, it fails to take into account that the PS3 could be considered a mainstream system while the other big ones (with maybe the exception of the Saturn) are really kind of obscure. I never heard of a Neo Geo til I was 15. For a mainstream system, the PS3 is astronomically high priced no matter how you slice it.
