The Console Wars -- XMas 1990
Loading...
Uploaded by Grooveraider on Dec 9, 2008
News program "Good Morning America" dated December 20, 1990 did a segment on Nintendo and its competitors during the 1990 holiday season. It was a question wether or not Nintendo could uphold their position as top game maker despite their older NES hardware compared to their rival's 16-bit systems. Nintendo wasn't gonna have their 16-bit system released in the States until the following year. More powerful systems also meant a higher price tag which was a major concern due to the U.S. economy at the time.

For those people that complain about game prices, here's some food for thought. The average price of a SNES game in 1990 was ~$50.00, the average price of a tank of gas was ~$1.19.
20 years later, the average price of a new game was ~$56.67; a 13% increase. The average price of a tank of gas was ~$2.99, an increase of 151%.
