A current day review on Moore's Law

My visit to Nehru Place yesterday made me think upon one thing. That the Moore's Law, once considered as one of the realities of computing has now lost the trail. His rule, that prices become 1/3rd and the data storage space available per unit becomes 3x has started to show decline.
In Nehru Place, i found that the prices of storage devices were half of what they were a couple of years back, which doesn't satisfy the law. This clearly shows that the law's ineffectiveness in the recent days.
Seems like we need some new law for this.
