What is the biggest scam in the gaming industry?

Everything is eventually done in life. Even books you don't want to open too much when they are a 100 years old. Most VHS are now not usable, floppy disks will eventually be done as well. But they will still last 30 or 40 years. I mean if a console life is 5 to 7 years....can I please maybe just buy that game once every 2 or 3 life cycles? 

I hope what that guy above said for Nintendo is true, because their digital library sucks if it either doesn't transfer or we have to keep buying. I mean, I many times do ai got to buy Mario bros? Not that I would, but they release it for each system.
