I'm going to include paintball rifles in this answer. The cost of paintball rifles can exceed $500, but your question only refers to C02 powerplants. So in this answer paintball generally out cost regular C02 pistols and rifles. Now if you include all power plants like Pump, spring and PCP. (Precharged Pneumatic) air weapons then Pellet pistols out cost Paintball.
As for the sport itself, with the cost of protection gear and the cost of gaming in general, then Paintball out cost regular C02 in general. But remember paintball is a competitive sport where teams compete against each other and shoot each other. Pellet shooting is a target and hunting sport, they are two very different sports and really should not be compared. Getting shot with a paintball won't kill you, getting shot with a pellet can kill you.
Well that's hard to say. The first paintball game was played in 1981 by 12 competitors using Nel-Spot 007 pistols made for tree and cattle marking. However I think it first became a sport when the National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) was founded in 1992-1993.

It was started by a couple of forest rangers who used paintball pistols to mark trees that needed to be cut down. They must have got to goofing around and the next thing you know a sport was born. Not long after scenario and tournament play came about and has been growing strong ever since.
