The difference now is back then, they sold you their hardware and accessories fairly cheap (remember when Nintendo consoles costed $200 or less?) and weren't nickel and diming you with DLC. Now they're pricing their games and hardware at a premium and selling exorbitantly priced accessories, all while raping your wallet with day-one $30 DLC and locking their legacy titles behind a yearly subscription service versus just buying them for ~10-20$ as Virtual Console titles.
