No, it’s not. Consoles (and technology in general) historically trend cheaper over time. Demand lowers, manufacturing cost lowers, newer tech releases, costs adjust to accommodate.

It’s very abnormal that the current gen of consoles has not only not gotten cheaper yet, but have actually raised in price. Like, very very abnormal.

Shrinkflation is a real thing, but historically it has nothing to do with consoles.
