I spent far more on gaming this year than I would in an average year. I know it came to $900+, but I am giving estimates because some of it is used and I don't remember the exact amounts.
Nintendo Switch $330
6 games: Zelda, No More Heroes, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Arms, Splatoon 2, Mario + Rabbids $300
Extra Set of Joycons $88
Subtotal: $718
SNES classic $88
Gameboy player for Gamecube $30
3 games: Astro Boy, Final Fantasy Tactics, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon $60
GBA for controller + Charging Grip + connecting cable $40
S-Video cables for Gamecube $15
Subtotal: $145
Sega Genesis $30
Scart cables + adapters to Component + Component and audio cables $80
controllers $40 (I kept trying to mod a controller into an arcade stick and it took several attempts)
6 games: $70
Subtotal: $220
Total: $1171
As I said, I may be off on some of my estimates, but it was clearly more than $900.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
