Mario Kart World's $ 80 price may be a harbinger of things to come.
Video game prices have been flat for a long time, even as other tech products get more expensive.
Nintendo doesn't have a history of mass layoffs for full-time employees in the U.S. It's a strange aberration that game companies maintained a $ 60 price tag for so long.
The EPI also found in 2015 that hourly worker productivity had risen by 74 percent in the prior 40 years .
In the 30 years following World War II , wages and productivity rose at a nearly 1:1 level.
You're allowed to be annoyed at a video game costing $ 80 (I still am) but it's likely not the last game we'll see priced at this level.
