    I’ve been the person to buy a console when there’s the killer game/feature worth upgrading for.

    Historically I’ve bought the bundles with a few games just in time for the new launch of a new software.

    I ended up with a PS2/GameCube/Wii, a PS3/Xbox360/WiiU and PS4/Xbox One/Switch. I don’t mind buying consoles to play a few games.

    That moment just hasn’t happened this generation. I can still play most of the big exclusives on the last gen hardware anyways.

      I avoided the PS4 for years until I was able to justify buying either it or the Xbone. When the Xbones only claim to fame (for me) was the Rare Replay collection and Sunset Overdrive, and the PS4 was Infamous Second Son and Uncharted 4 I waited. Eventually I was able to justify the PS4 with the addition Persona 5, Wipeout Omega Collection, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman, and a way to play Ubisoft games without giving my PC Cancer Ubisoft Connect/UPlay.

      But unlike the PS3 I don’t like using it. It’s more of a convenient means to play games cheaply since every game was about $10 by the time I bought into it. Even then I probably could justify to myself to upgrade to a PS5 by using my PS4 as collateral.
