MODERATORS
Emulation is just so easy these days. You can get a portable device for not too much that will run a pretty big range of systems, or something like a Steam Deck (or similar Steam OS device) that runs pretty much everything, including switch games. There’s just not much of a reason to buy a traditional console anymore aside from maybe brand new exclusives.
On the other side, nobody can afford the new hardware or microtransactions to play AAA games
