>In inflation-adjusted terms, it's better to collect for the PSX now than it was in 2008

As a Playstation owner, this makes me happy. I was focusing on "rediscovering" the SNES back in 2008/2009, so that's when I did most of the buying for that system and just kind of ignored the PSX. Glad that I didn't miss the boat, so to speak.

But, I have to ask... why is there so much interest in old Nintendo consoles (and the Genesis) specifically? As a child I remember more people had a Playstation than an N64, and the sales figures reflect this. You would think that if there is going to be a nostalgia trip, it should affect both consoles roughly equally. And while there has been a noticeable increase in PSX prices from their trough, it's nothing compared to the Nintendo prices. It just doesn't make sense to me.
