Same here for the most part. If it is on Game Pass or is a big Nintendo game I am excited for I'll play it day one. Otherwise I wait for sales to buy games. A lot of the time you can get games heavily discounted within 6 months of release. 

I cannot tell you the last game I actually purchased at 70 bones.  I always wait for a sell and its not like I cannot afford the game at that price, its just that I like to spend as little money on luxury items as possible.  Case in point, I love the Armor core series, I could have easily pulled the trigger on it when it released but wait until now at 40 bones on Amazon to get it.  Hell I still believe I can wait until it drop to 30.  If games move to a hundred, that means they will discount faster but their base discount will be 70 or something like that.  Its just a way for the industry to give you a perceived discount and better price all the while taking more advantage of the Whales and less patience consumers.

I've been doing it more often even though I don't play them right away.  It's because of how scarce the physical copy market is becoming.  I have found lately if I don't jump on them immediately the only copies left will be the foreign copies.  I know they still work but I can't stand the ugly rating system colors on them. And to get a copy that is North American can sometimes go up in price, not down.  I come across this problem more often with JRPGs.
