I mean, barring Nintendo, they still are and will continue to be as long as you don’t need to have games on day one. I very rarely spend more than $20 on Xbox games.

The digital storefronts (again, not Nintendo) have sales constantly, you just need a little impulse control.

They were until an orange bitch started a trade war. Now everything is going to be too expensive, consoles and PCs alike.
