I bought a SNES the week it launched. I was in high school and had a job at the time, so I could buy it with my own money. The most important thing to me though was Nintendo Power told me that the next Zelda game would be on the SNES. So I bought it the first week even though Link to the Past wasn't released for about another year. I devoured Super Mario World, and then I was disappointed because I realized that it didn't have many games. I should have waited a few months until I bought it. I told myself I would never buy a system at launch again.
I broke that rule with the Switch, and this time Zelda was a launch game. I have no regrets with the Switch. I guess the real lesson for me is to just wait until the killer app I want is released.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
