If you can't resist then I guess a compromise might be buying used where possible, getting cross-platform titles on other platforms.
Personally a couple of my various regrets have been getting Nintendo stuff new in recent years. My lightly used New 3DS d-pad bugged out, I replaced the d-pad for it and barely used it only for it to partly break again.
I got a Switch, new, before they went ballistic with lawsuits and the screen had a dead pixel out of the box. Probably a matter of time before it develops stick drift. The battery also gives the whole device a limited time to work, unless it can still work via the dock without a battery (or with and without charging capacity), but I'm doubtful of that...
The Switch 2 being a similar design carries on that same battery problem as far as I'm aware.
When was that, the 80s?
