definitely more common now at least in my area. When I was a kid goodwill and value village were charging $40 for an old beat up snes or n64 and that was the whole clothes budget for me and my three siblings.
Friend ended up giving me a gamecube in middle school and that was my first console.
It can be pretty easy to get up a second-hand console cheap, free, and/or as a gift.
Have you ever seen how much good/working stuff people throw away? If you’re a little bright, you can get people to pay you to haul their “junk” away.
