Purchasing the console itself isn't really hard. If you saved $10 a week, you could own every console in less than 3 years. Think about all the petty things people buy on a DAILY basis that add up, like the people that get Starbucks on a daily basis...  I don't drink coffee... I don't have that daily expense. 


Time is an interesting constraint... However, from experience, your time isn't evenly divided between the consoles you own. Any generation where I have owned multiple consoles, one of them would see significantly more play time and in turn game purchases. One of them would be the "primary" console. That doesn't mean I don't get value out of the other systems I own.
