Message: [QUOTE="CaptainToad, post: 74929, member: 12933"] The US and Canada had 75% internet-connected households by 2008. And took another 12 years to get to 90%-ish in each.[ATTACH type="full" alt="save.png"]25467[/ATTACH] I'd also assume people who buy games to be more technologically literate than the average person (although not by much considering what I've seen in retro game communities sometimes). I don't see this mapping to prices at all, and then also again, presumably these people who will only buy retro games online should also be selling these games online too which would bring the prices down and increase the velocity of games sales, but I'm not sure if that happened either. Unless Amazon, etc. conditioned people to impulse-buy things online, like retro games, (which would tie into the idea that retro youtubers affect game prices a lot), like what's the actual reality of these new video game buyers like? Are they keeping these games? Are they permanent retro game fans now? Are they continuing to buy retro games up through the generations as they age, or just sticking to their childhood games?
