I used to play on consoles, typically would have 2-3 of them each generation and buy up the biggest AAA titles. God I can't imagine how much money I spent during those years. These days I spend most of my gaming on the PC, where I don't feel this constant urge to keep up. The games are reasonably priced and there's plenty of free-to-play options that actually end up being the more fun games anyways. If I feel like spending money on in game items I will, but generally I spend a small fraction of what I used to. There's no way I'm spending $70 on a video game unless it's something I see myself playing for years on end. Think Elder Scrolls. Suspect the vast majority of games don't fit into this category though.
