I've heard a lot of people call the Nintendo Switch's $299 price point "expensive". While that might not be a price everyone can afford, it's far more approachable than most consoles that have released over the years.

In contrast, did you know the original NES would cost around $504.72 in today's money? That'd make it more expensive than the new Xbox One X. 

For the sake of a learning experience, in this feature we're going to look at every major console ever released, how much they would cost in today's money, and even take a look at the ads they've used to market themselves.
