Typically only with Nintendo games, or games from other developers I trust, e.g., From Software.

The problem is that it's hard to tell when a game will be worth a $60 investment. A lot of developers/publishers are inconsistent, and a flashy ad campaign sometimes hides a pretty crummy game underneath. Moreover, many $60 games are short, story-driven affairs with low replay value -- something that might be worth playing, but not necessarily worth owning.

This is probably a bigger problem for multi-systems owners. Someone who only games on PS4 or WiiU, for example, can afford to take more risks.
