I just look at the hdtv screens you can start getting something decent at 179 euros, 1000 is really nice one already.Same as a pc screen or almost now.
I always remember of a rivality between computer and consoles, first the c64/amstrad vs the nes, c64 had a lot of variety and some damn good games, in all objectivity it had the upper hand , but nothing like a zelda and mario wich were really expensive. That would be paying 100 euros today for a game, in europe , while c64 games were free (everyone was pirating).
Then it was amiga/st vs megadrive/snes , again awesome variety on the computers but still the arcade ports( arcade games were the big thing by then ) were quite subpar on computers.Consoles games were usually getting better reviews in magazines, lot of japanese games especially you couldnt find on computers , zeldas again etc etc ....Thus grew the grustration and the console hate.
Its almost a social clash rich vs poor. The rich could afford the neo geo and the absurdly overpriced games, those were much more impressive than on the megradrive even, the poor were gaming on computers with pirated copies.
But now that i am swimming in cash i dont give a fuck about console vs pc, i buy everything!
