Our analysis of the Nintendo Game Boy Color console market reveals a dynamic and competitive landscape, with prices trending downward over time. This report summarizes key findings on price trends, product assumptions, and significant outliers.

**Price Trends**

Prices for Nintendo Game Boy Color consoles have consistently decreased over time, particularly in the last quarter (Nov 26-30, 2024).
