I'm rich because I don't preorder over-advertised consumer garbage and don't need to buy games on the year they are released.

Exactly. I bought only 2 day-one releases in the past five years. Last was Kingdom Come 2, partially because I am Czech.
Most of the time I buy games in 70%+ discount. That way I get fair value for most of it anyway.
well, I'm less poor because...
I guess you refer to the Switch 2. Nintendo games are the only games I really like and enjoy, and price of main Nintendo titles are not on sales for a couple of years at least and never more than 33% down. So by on release or not dosen't change much.
However I'm not taking par of the geo scam arbitrage. I have set my account in Norway, anf would change each time it's necessery, as price in my country are 40-60% more expensive than Norway or South Africa usually.
Also I try to buy only games I will really play and don't buy to many games in parallel if I didn't finish one enough.
Not wholly, but yes.
BUt in any case:
NEVER PREORDER
