Yeah, if I lost my job and had no immediate way of getting money, I'd sell every non-essential thing I owned. It's not like the systems won't be around for another decade or so. Hopefully, your brother finds something soon though.

Yeah, it really sucks.  He just took his wife and kids on a vacation that he spent a chunk of money on a month ago.  He really wishes he had any idea things could go this way.  He applied for like 15  different jobs this week.

Not to criticize your brother, but it is recommended to save up to 6 months of your living expenses in case such a situation happens or for other emergencies.

If he is in this big of a need for cash that he'd have to immediately sell already paid off (I assume) consoles, then it sounds like that vacation expense and the console pre-orders themselves should have gone to savings to begin with. Again, if I am making a judgement without the full picture I am sorry. I am not trying to criticize, just offer my financial advice.

Also, I have 3 Xbox One's pre-ordered and 2 PS4's so I am hoping to sell them for double as well and basically completely pay for my console(s) (If I keep a PS4) plus online services and games for a good year or more.
