Increasing demand for 6th gen games locally. --- End quote --- this says otherwise: https://www.pricecharting.com/console/playstation-2 https://www.pricecharting.com/console/xbox --- End quote --- Pricecharting also says the average Atari 2600 game is 20$ and that NES hasn't peaked. --- End quote --- We aren't talking average game prices though, we're talking about peaking prices, which those graphs shows is plateauing or declining overall. Averages are easily effected by extreme examples in the distribution. Even if 95% of the 2600 library are worth under $5 all it takes is Happy Birthday or Air Raid II selling for 15k to skew the entire distribution. And regarding NES, I feel like it certainly has peaked. It's been stable at $26 to $27 for over 2-years. I think the only other place it is headed is down, as is the case with most other retro consoles. If you look at the PS2 and XBOX, out original examples they too have been plateauing for long periods of time, indicating their peak interest most likely. |

For me the most collectable 7th gen system is 1.xbox360 2.Wii 3.ps3 In this order. Xbox was amazing so many exclusive games the Wii had a lot of exclusive games also and the ps3 had some great exclusive games but not as many imo.and most games ran better on xbox360 than on ps3 because games were easier to develop on the 360 so alot of games were tailor made to run on 360.That being said I liked all three systems and collect for all of them. |

I think it will be valuable to collectors because this was the last generation where we actually got manuals and the digital thing really didn't take off quite yet. I don't know if a lot of the games will be going for crazy money anytime soon, but there will be collectors for those systems mentioned in the OP. |
