Timeline of Console Price Drops?

[racketboy]

Has anybody seen a timeline that shows different console price drops over time?
I know I've seen comparisons of initials console prices (with inflation even), but don't recall all the price adjustments and when they occurred.

I have seen this. I saw one not long ago on a biz-centered site like Next-Gen.biz not too long ago. However, that just compared the 360 to the last gen of PS2, GC, and Xbox. They were basically making the point that the 360 has gone longer than any major console hardware without a price drop: about 19 months or so.

As for every major console going back 20 years? Haven't seen one like that. But IIRC wikipedia and some of the more indepth fan sites often have price histories. Introductory prices are especially easy to find. Drops and their timing will be harder. It would take some time, but putting together a chart covering the 2600 to the PS3 could probably be done.


Hey Racket - did you get the PM I sent? Just wondering if the system is working since others have said it was not.

Yeah, actually, I replied via email -- check there...

Here's the graph I was thinking of.
