Is it?

Christmas ‘88 a NES was $99 at Sears.

That makes math trivial. What did games cost?

Mario 2 was 45% of that. Kid Icarus 40%. Punchout was 35%. Cheapest game was 10 Yard Fight at 30%.

Switch 2 is $400. Mario Kart World is $80.

That’s only 20%. HALF the price of Kid Icarus in relative dollars.

Games are not more expensive in inflation adjusted dollars. They’re not more expensive relative to the console.

Games have gotten cheaper.
