When the PS2 was released over here, it cost more than 800 Deutsche Mark (400+ Euros). I don't think the PS1 was any cheaper back in the day.

FGM brought up a good point, although I doubt it is profitable to develop AAA titles on next-gen budgets for "fringe groups". Not that Ã*t's necessarily a bad thing, mind you. Again, my self-purification argument.. In the past PC gaming was about strategy, roleplay, adventure and action games. Now both platforms (consoles AND pc) are primarily about action games. Real time strategy, FPS, RPGs with lots of real time combat. I personally don't care, as long as *the games* (yes, the good ones) will be there.
