Thank you for sharing your purchasing decisions. The more important question is, did you purchase the milk at your local retailer today? I heard it's been marked down by 10%. What a steal!

Nintendo has always been a company that made games accessible to wide audience, but I fail to see how this works when you make the price of entry this high. Wii U suffered from a high price which Nintendo admited too and this is priced higher.

I guess Nintendo doesn't want your money then. You should be thankful that you can keep your money and spend it on something better. Like marked down milk!

That's up to you to decide, I paid $550 NZD at launch for the PS4 but wouldn't pay that price for a switch at launch. All comes down to preference really and how much value you personally thinks its worth. Since I play 80% of my games on Sony consoles I hold them as higher value so I'll risk paying more. You might be different and play 50% on xbox and 50% on Nintendo for example so could be on the fence about getting it straight away.

Anyways Im rambling about nothing lol just buy it if you want it or wait if you are unsure xD

It really up to you.
- Do you have a job
- how much money do you have
Etc.....

If you really want the launch games then YES!
If you think you can wait and something might be cheaper later then its a NO!



Pocky Lover Boy!

Yeah you're right, I think I would rather spend a little more and get PS4 pro.
