Every month we write an article with a list of some of the games with the biggest increase and decrease in price. We call the series "Winners & Losers".

Methodology
The list is made up of the games with the biggest change in price compared its average price in the last two years. We use the standard deviation for the prices to eliminate games that naturally have volatile prices.For example, a game has an average price of $10 and a standard deviation in this price of $1. 96% of the time prices will be within $8 and $12. If during the next three months the price jumps to $14, then $15, and $16 after that we can be very confident the price increase is statistically significant.

Super Pitfall is surprising, I guess everyone wants to know why this game gets such a bad rap.
Lol I guess so!
Why haven't you updated any of the console charts for two months?
@anonymous - Thanks for letting us know about this problem. The charts were being updated, but I forgot one small change on the website to make those changes visible. I made that change and you can now see the prices with September and October included.
@JJ Hendricks
Thanks. Also, holy flatline SNES prices, Batman!
