Interesting. So you started gaming as a hobby around 2017? Mind to share your age at the time? It's generally not common for people start gaming after their teenage years. Even for people who doesn't have income, they will find ways to game in cheap machines

I had turned 14 years old only a few weeks prior to Switch 1’s launch. The money used to purchase the system came from my Skylanders YouTube channel (Alpha Ambush. I had saved up a couple thousand USD over the two years I made money).

What sold me was the Mario Odyssey reveal trailer in the January presentation. I had never played any Mario games before, but the music of the trailer as well as the “Super real Mario Odyssey” video got me hooked! Plus my best friend at the time was a major Nintendo fan and he got me all in on the hype.

14 is definitely in the age range the gaming tastes starts to get into form indeed makes sense. I thought you were older though, that's why I was surprised. No specific reason, just the average age of the users of this forum must be in the 40s
