There you go.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Everything you don't need for survival is by definition a luxury.

It is the very definition of a commodity not a luxury

From the Oxford dictionary:

Luxury

An inessential, desirable item which is expensive or difficult to obtain:luxuries like chocolate, scent, and fizzy wine.

Gaming only is two of those, inessential and desirable. It is neither expensive or difficult to "obtain". Luxury isn't everything you don't need for survival.
