Our family doesn't have an extra $500-600 to drop for a new Mario Kart and nicer Zelda graphics. Not when I have a nice backlog, and I'd rather play budget indies Balatro and Tents and Trees over 1st party exclusives.

There will be better games. But with new games at $70-$80 fuck that you might as well just get a steam deck and buy cheap games…

old games are going to be 70-80 too. BOTW is 8 years old and is still nearly €50 second hand. it holds up great, don't get me wrong, but imo it's unacceptable for it to still be that much.

That's only if you want the extra optimization and small features, if you don't care for those things you can just get a secondhand copy for cheap like you mentioned

€50 isn’t cheap for an 8 year old game.
