They analyzed inflation rates to determine their current worth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, there were 27 systems from a variety of brands, with some appearing on the list more than once.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The highest price was SNK\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Neo Geo<\/strong>. When it was released in 1990, it cost gamers&nbsp;<strong>$649<\/strong>. In 2025, it would set you back by an eye-watering&nbsp;<strong>$1,567.45<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you could get a&nbsp;<strong>Neo Geo Pocket Color<\/strong>&nbsp;for much less, so inexpensive that it comes in last on the list at 27th. The much smaller console cost just&nbsp;<strong>$69.00<\/strong>&nbsp;at the time of its release in 1999 and would cost<strong>&nbsp;$130.74<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other consoles in the top five most expensive in 2025&nbsp;dollars include&nbsp;<strong>3DO\u2019s 3DO Interactive Multiplayer<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<strong>$1,526.98<\/strong>, which originally cost&nbsp;<strong>$699<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Mattel\u2019s Intellivision<\/strong>&nbsp;for<strong>&nbsp;$1,145.43<\/strong>&nbsp;which sold for&nbsp;<strong>$299<\/strong>&nbsp;in 1980, and two Atari consoles: the 1977&nbsp;<strong>Atari 2600&nbsp;<\/strong>that was then priced at&nbsp;<strong>$199&nbsp;<\/strong>and the<strong>&nbsp;$249 5200<\/strong>, released in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, the&nbsp;<strong>Atari&nbsp;<\/strong>consoles would cost<strong>&nbsp;$1,036.59<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>$879.93<\/strong>&nbsp;respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brand that appears more than once on the list but fails to make it to the top five is gaming giant&nbsp;<strong>Nintendo<\/strong>. The Japan-based brand released six consoles between 1985 and 2000, with the most expensive being their original&nbsp;<strong>Nintendo Entertainment System<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today\u2019s money, it would cost&nbsp;<strong>$583.80<\/strong>&nbsp;while the retail price&nbsp;when it was released in 1985 was just<strong>&nbsp;$199.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nintendo\u2019s&nbsp;<\/strong>rival&nbsp;<strong>SEGA&nbsp;<\/strong>also appears on the list with multiple releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1995&nbsp;<strong>SEGA Saturn&nbsp;<\/strong>and 1986&nbsp;<strong>Master System<\/strong>&nbsp;sit in sixth and ninth place, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SEGA Saturn<\/strong>&nbsp;cost&nbsp;<strong>$399<\/strong>&nbsp;in 1995 but would be a hefty<strong>&nbsp;$826.44<\/strong>&nbsp;today, while the&nbsp;<strong>Master System<\/strong>&nbsp;cost&nbsp;<strong>$200<\/strong>&nbsp;but would retail for $300 more in 2025 at&nbsp;<strong>$576.03<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other consoles to make the list include the first two editions of&nbsp;<strong>Sony\u2019s PlayStation<\/strong>, with the second installment costing more today than it did when it was released in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It cost&nbsp;<strong>$299&nbsp;<\/strong>24 years ago, but today, it would retail for<strong>&nbsp;$548.10<\/strong>, a $300 increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Rank<\/td><td>Brand<\/td><td>Console<\/td><td>Release year<\/td><td>Original price (USD)<\/td><td>2025 price (USD)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>SNK<\/td><td>Neo Geo<\/td><td>1990<\/td><td>$649.00<\/td><td>$1,567.45<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>3DO<\/td><td>3DO Interactive Multiplayer<\/td><td>1993<\/td><td>$699.00<\/td><td>$1,526.98<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Mattel<\/td><td>Intellivision<\/td><td>1980<\/td><td>$299.00<\/td><td>$1,145.43<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>Atari<\/td><td>Atari 2600<\/td><td>1977<\/td><td>$199.00<\/td><td>$1,036.59<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>Atari<\/td><td>Atari 5200<\/td><td>1982<\/td><td>$269.00<\/td><td>$879.93<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>SEGA<\/td><td>SEGA Saturn<\/td><td>1995<\/td><td>$399.00<\/td><td>$826.44<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7<\/td><td>NEC<\/td><td>TurboExpress<\/td><td>1990<\/td><td>$249.00<\/td><td>$601.38<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>Nintendo<\/td><td>Nintendo Entertainment System<\/td><td>1985<\/td><td>$199.00<\/td><td>$583.80<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9<\/td><td>SEGA<\/td><td>Master System<\/td><td>1986<\/td><td>$200.00<\/td><td>$576.03<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10<\/td><td>Coleco<\/td><td>ColecoVision<\/td><td>1982<\/td><td>$175.00<\/td><td>$572.45<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11<\/td><td>Sony<\/td><td>PlayStation 2<\/td><td>2000<\/td><td>$299.00<\/td><td>$548.10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12<\/td><td>Atari<\/td><td>Atari Jaguar<\/td><td>1993<\/td><td>$249.00<\/td><td>$543.95<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>13<\/td><td>Hudson Soft &amp;
