Well yes, you wasted your money, but on the bright side, it would be wasted in any case of a games console. To invest means to put money in, in order to get more money out, consoles don't do that. They give you fun, but that's not investing, that's simply buying. Perhaps if you wait a few decades and then try to sell it, you might get more money for it being a retro thing. 🙂

Jokes aside, if you don't like it, then get rid of it. Chances are you could get a different used console for the money you get from selling this one.

For one thing, my Switch is metal and glass...

For another, I have no horse in this race, owning all the current gen consoles, a Steam Deck, and a PC (and a Mac for work). And all of the previous gens back to the NES, as well, with a few exceptions (dunno where my Jaguar went, and never got an Xbox One). I just like games, I don't make my like of particular kinds a part of my identity.

I suspect I also have at least 10 years on you, if not more. The "targeted towards children and weebs" in particular doesn't come off as, shall we say, mature. Son.

The entire reason for my reply was to point out your logical inconsistency, no more, no less. That is not a defense of said console.
