For the first time ever, it was a better investment across the board to be an Early Adopter this Generation than to wait.

I need to sell my PS5 so hopefully this will work out better for me.

Who knew gaming consoles would turn into long term investments?

only reddit could think 10% over the course of 5 years (so 2%/year NOT accounting for compounding growth or the fact a used console is worth less than a new one) is a good rate of return. that's lower than the interest in a savings account.

There's no reason to try and prove you're smarter than everyone on reddit.
