Not really. For starters most consoles have a life span of 5 years. Not including break downs, damaged and any other form of accident/incident that happens over a generation. Many cases when a console stops working. The owner buys a new one.

 

Example - You brought a XboxOne at launch. After 4 years you have a problem and it stops working.

A- Not buy another one

B- Buy a 2nd hand launch console which can have similar problems to yours in the future.

C- Buy a Xboxone S with improved performance and design for roughly the same price.

 

I know what option ill choose.

 

There are heaps of double dippers in a generation.

Same can be said with a PS4, Slim and Pro.

Where did you get your lifespan data from?

Personally, I don't think there's a lot of double dippers.

My brother works at GameStop. He tells me how many customers come back with replacements and returns etc. Lets say its a fair amount over the span if a generation. 

Also doesn't help that majority of people i know brought more than one console. One of my friends own 4 PS3 for the Blu Ray player, 1 for each room. Thats extreme but he made up 4 customers. 

Im not a console guy yet every console i brought i end up buying another one due to problems.
