I've been saying this for years and always get roasted alive for not wanting to shell out ~$500 just to be able to play one fucking game.
The only reason I ever got to play the new god of war games is because I got into a relationship with someone who has a Playstation. If she didn't have one I'd have never played.
It's the same way I am with the switch 2. I'm not buying a whole new console just for a new Zelda (which I don't even like anymore) or potentially a new smash bros.
I agree. However, the only reason anyone wants those mostly is because of the marketing. I have too many better and cheaper games that I need to get to on PC already. While some of the console exclusives look interesting, I've realized they aren't made for me anyway. They aren't really made for anyone for that matter. They're made for everyone, which means they're made for no one.
