I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great.

Oh for sure. I usually wait 1-3 years before buying games so that I can grab em on sale. It's really quite rare that Nintendo games go on sale, though. So it's kinda tough when you want to eventually play them.

I'll sometimes buy games new, but as it is, most of my purchases are during sales. I've been mostly playing old titles. It just surprises me when I see statistics of Nintendo running out of pre-orders etc.
