I think the issue might be people requiring better and better products. Cost vs. utility is decreasing, but the absolute cost rises.
Graphics cards are a great example. The new gtx1080 is faster, and half(?) the cost, of the previous generation Titan, but costs a lot more than the gtx980 (previous gen card it replaced).
So you could say Nvidia cards are getting more expensive, but not really. Price vs. performance is falling.
