I think there is a bigger market for them now though. What was the most popular video game in the 90s and how many copies sold vs the biggest games now? And now with steam and other sevices you don't even have to manufacture as many discs. Even freemium mobile games are making billions in revenue.

There's a bigger market now for many products, but their prices are usually keeping up with inflation.
