I...I've seen this somewhere before...Not this exact infographic, but still...Doesn't change the fact that it's interesting...I think it was a different GI article? Something about why the new consoles are actually priced pretty fairly.

Who's paying 360 at auction for a Nintendo these days?!

Hahahah wow....

I get that these are worth a lot... but who's buying them?

There's a retro videogame store in my town that is a goldmine of old gems like this. I want everything in there. In fact I want to flat out buy the store. It even has a giant Mario chained to a pole-as all giant Marios should be. Who can go in on it with me?

Well, this doesn't surprise me. Technology never seems to age well unless it's rare.

Neato extremo!

Just shows you how irresponsibly we and the world have devalued our currencies since the end of WWII, and especially the past 40 years, after going off of actual physical assets to worthless paper currencies, with little, to no regulation on printing and inflation of what they're supposedly worth.

See? Nintendo is inherently superior because they have an entertaining history of obscure and off-the-wall toys, company ventures, and er... love hotels...

Oh god please tell me that's an NES-001!

Interesting article...thanks for sharing.

Heh...the Apple-1 Computer release price.

THIS PANCAKE IS EATING MY HAND

Interesting. Nice read.

That's very interesting.

I see a trend with the prices. It all comes down to Rarity and Historical place in our Tech History. While the NES and Gameboy as I'll state off the bat. They have a place that saved the Console Market and also started a Portable Gaming Revolution. Yet price wise. They are worthless. The amount you paid back in the 1980s-1990s will not make it regardless. Just too many were sold.

While Air Raid Video Game sold for like 10 bucks. It price inflated so much and people will to pay even more is that it is SUPER Rare. Plus has a bit of historical place as well on top of it. Just like the first Apple Computer. And such.

Just because it is old. Does not mean it is worth a lot of money. That is a lesson to learn all.

What about the INTELLIVISION II?

The consoles are still too new to command any true value. Comic books don't become valuable until at least 40 years later. The exception being characters or series that become extremely popular fast and had a low print run like The Walking Dead. Big modern issues like Hulk 181 (Wolverine 1st full app) and New Mutants 98 (1st Deadpool app) can shoot up in price quick but they are they exception rather than the rule. Give these consoles a few decades and the prices will rise.

Who the hell is paying $800 for an Atari 2600?? The one pictured isn't even the original model! The ORIGINAL model had SIX SWITCHES and I paid $30 for one with a ton of games.

THE AUDACITY!!

Also, I have three other 2600 consoles.

Honestly this article is misleading. Not many Atari 2600 units sold for $800 infact I can only find one on record that did, which sold for that because: a) it was new (never open and never used) and b) it came with 20 never used games. Next the rest of the technology also fails to determine the state of each piece on the auction listed. I've seen Gamegears go higher than that if they had crisp box/manuals, you know; complete. So again no factoring condition also misleads the reader.
