It was a good idea and I was thrilled with the announcement and then I purchased it. So let’s mainly focus on the PlayStation Classic. The reason I feel retro consoles are a bad idea is, basically it’s not enough bang for the buck. We'll start with the NES Classic (current MSRP $59.99.)Ī while back I did some 1 Minute Rants on the state of these so called “mini consoles”, you can check them out here.

Are we ready? As Mario would say “HERE WE GO!” Now keep in mind that some of the games are unavailable so it is hard to determine the current price of those games, so we took it upon ourselves to round down to the cheapest game in that specific Console Classic’s Library. We are comparing the price of the individual games to that which are listed on the PlayStation™ Store via and on the Virtual Console Store via (the prices are listed in red). Let's take a moment and break down the Classic Consoles. Don't us wrong, commercially the NES and SNES Classics were a huge success, but after looking at the games that came pre-installed with the consoles, can we really say that it was worth investing all that money for a trip down memory lane? After the disappointing sales of the PlayStation Classic it's time to come to terms with a harsh reality, the Classic Consoles are (and were) a mistake. And for the lucky few who were able to find the consoles, well they paid anywhere from 50 to 75% over market value (gotta love capitalism). Both pre-orders sold out within minutes of their announcement and both were impossible to find after it's initial launch. Nobody can deny the popularity of the NES and SNES Classic Consoles.
