The past two generations, I owned all three consoles. As a result, my gaming backlog is the stuff of legend. Plus, I really only played the XBOX 360 a handful of times. Absolutely not worth it, even if I did get it for free. I'm not making the same mistake this generation. I already have a PS4, Wii U, and gaming PC. And I can still feel the weight of the backlog. It's never about the price. Hell, I could afford to buy all three consoles every single month if I wanted to (and gave up on paying down more than the minimum on debts), but where's the sense in that if you can't fully enjoy the purchase? I envy those with all that extra time.

Life is kind of a cruel joke that way. You grow up with all the time in the world, but have no money, and often rely on your parents for game purchases. Then you get out on your own, start making money, and can afford more games. But your time is now limited so you can't enjoy the stuff you buy.
