Peach's crown might not be her most valuable piece of jewelry, either. Peach's brooch and earrings are probably also made from Paraiba tourmalines, but they're even bigger than the ones used for her crown.
The bulk of the value in Princess Peach's crown, almost 75%, seems to be in the matched pair of turquoise paraiba tourmalines.
It's also worth noting that these valuations seem to be based on what these items would cost if they were made from real-life gems and metals, with no considerations made for the fictional properties that have been bestowed on them.. The Soul Stones are valued as sapphires, rubies and emeralds. The One Ring is valued as 18K gold.
There's a relatively small selection of the overall NES/Famicom library currently in the database (fewer than 240 games, as far as I can tell), a bunch of which don't have 50+ user ratings to qualify.
According to the header, the visualization only covers 20 years of console sales, not 31. That would appear to be why there's no laughably small blip for VIrtual Boy and why SNES sales look so small compared to N64 despite selling nearly 17 million more units, overall.

The worst sound is every attempt to simulate actual speaking voices on 8-bit hardware.
Re: More Retro Games Are On The Way To Capcom Arcade Stadium
It's the original Ghosts 'n Goblins add-on game that is on sale for 50% off, not Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, which is not an add-on game.
