you can buy a piece of crap laptop for $250 but it won’t be able to play ANYTHING

a thinkpad t490 can't play anything new but it can play quite a bit. I play emulators on mine.

True, but most modern games are focused on online play and very few are cross platform. So if a kid's friends are playing one particular console they're going to want one too.

A brand new T490 was over 900 bucks retail depending on the specs, and a used one is still less cost effective than, let's say, a used PS3 or PS4...
