I dont buy games until they are $20 or $30 with DLC/Complete Edition/GOTY edition.

Only exceptions are Nintendo games but only do that when I can buy them for $40 or $45.

Also through Costco's eshop cards.

I dont buy games physical anymore so the NSO vouchers have been great.

Sadly, buying a first-party Nintendo game brand new for under $40 is nearly impossible. Even with retailers, you have to luck out on a great sale or clearance. 

The cheapest way to get Nintendo games on Switch is typically to get the loose game card, because you can find those for $30-$35 if the game is old enough. Still, I've never gotten a used Switch game yet and would probably get a used one complete in box.

This thread does remind me of the scary fact that some AAA games could be $90-$100 by the mid-2030s.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 40 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
