It's called perspective.

The $100 per game price point has been tried a number of times and the games failed. Kids and parents won't spend that kind of money, on hardcore gamers. And that's not enough to make games profitable and the system the success that the PS2 has been.
And where you get the ColecoVision being the most expensive console considering inflation? The NeoGeo and 3DO both retailed for more than $600 and neither of them put a dent in the industry.
