PS5's used value will collapse the moment a PS6 is announced even if Sony tries to keep the MSRP artificially high. 

Why buy a used PS5 when you can get a PS6 for $750-$800 or whatever. 

Because you can't spend $800 but can spend $400, for starters. Not to mention the $800 console will be very hard to come by.

By the way, used Switches on Amazon dropped just some 20% in value over the past year and are now right back up to their pre-Switch 2 launch price. Don't underestimate market dynamics in the face of scarcity, people by and large aren't rational buyers at all.

At $800, lol, some how I think you'll be able to pick one up just fine. Maybe not for the first month, but after that ... this is probably another things that going to go out the window ... game hardware that's hard to find for months at a time. PS5 Pro you could walk into a store and get one on launch day with no pre-order with no fuss, Switch 2 is easy to find even though the sales volume is high, etc. etc.
