Yes people can save up and buy what they want. But this is much harder to do for some than others. Let me tell you a story of a family making $900 a month on disability. They got their check every month. Their bills they need to survive like Rent, Gas, Water, etc add up to over $1000 a month. They have to over draft their account to pay bills every month. Tell me how can someone like this afford to save up for a new console? I'm all for Destiny getting rid of 10 year old hardware in order to better their game, and to better benefit us. But the "you could have saved up to buy a new console" doesn't apply to everyone.

If you're in that bad of shape but are dead set on buying a console there are places that hire part time workers on disability. The Sam's club I used to work at hired a few to sit by the doors and check for membership cards. If there's a will there's a way. Also if someone is in that bad of shape financially then they have much bigger problems than buying a gaming console. Point invalid
