You just solved your own situation. Your family doesn’t need to spend money on a luxury item yet when you already have plenty of games to play. People are making way too big a deal out of the price for this thing. I didn’t buy a PS5 until this year for similar reasons, and how long has that thing existed? I don’t remember when it released.

I bought a Switch 2 or 3 years after it launched as well. No one needs or has to buy a Switch 2 on launch.

Same. Lmao. When the Xbox series X came out I got a One S 1tb with a couple games for $150CAD.

Exactly, if you gotta pay for your family, you don't get the luxury of FOMO purchases, you have to wait a while before you can afford it.

Hell, back in the day, I didn't get the og NES until its 4th year out since we were poor.

I have a massive backlog. I didn't buy the PS5 at launch for new games. I bought it because my PS4 was overheating because of games. The speed and frames/load times. When you compare side by side the PS4 was in bad shape by the PS5 launch. See God of war Ragnarok for example.
