I think we all have access to so many games, and most either already own a PC, PS5, Xbox Series or even older tech such as PS4/One/Switch - I think not many of us actually need to spend over 600 dollars on a new console any time soon with plenty of gaming devices (even including our phones!) keeping us busy, but yeah sometimes we need a impulse buy but consoles are getting beyond that cost now
So far:
- More than 75% of voters would not go over $700
- More than 90% of voters would not go over $800
this is interesting, plus we need to factor in that 90% of people will need to upgrade their TVs to enjoy a new console too which makes things worse. It makes so much sense to delay the next gen of gaming at the moment but they should make a PlayStation or Xbox handheld like Switch 2 for the time being or maybe release some retro stuff for fun like the SNES Mini or Mini PS1 did but maybe make a Mini Gamecube or PS2 for example lol.
