Honestly? When PS3 happened I said enough regarding consoles and didn’t buy a single one since. I still have a GameCube and PS2 packed in a box somewhere. PC. The device never changes, I can just upgrade it myself.

I’m not sad for scalpers. Reselling has trashed the used market for everyone.

Scalpers make a gamble that the price will go up. This time, they lost that gamble.

I only ever owned or even used one console the original NES. After that all my gaming was on PC. Consoles are for suckers.
