Yeah, and they sold significantly fewer copies because video games weren't a popular household product at the time; they needed a higher markup to make a reasonable profit. Mario Kart 8 sold nearly 76 million copies. Nintendo made well over a reasonable profit on that game even with a significantly smaller markup, and they would easily continue to do so with the subsequent entry at the same price.

Solid point! But yes, the Atari 2600 was in pretty much every middle-class home at the time. Didn't get mine for years later because my parent's lived the Depression and WWII, didn't see the value in a $100 game. :)

So you're saying economies of scale and population made goods cheaper? That's sounds suspiciously like capitalism.
