I'll buy what I like and have been doing this for years now.
I don't buy many games throughout the year so slowing down would be kind of hard. Most games I bought last year have been out for a while or borrowed.

I've never bought a console the year it comes out I've always waited a couple years until the games improve.

If I buy the game then I won't buy it again, so you might as well wait until the next gen consoles come out.
A lot of games were released for PS3 and 360 then got released for the new gen, only the stupid would buy 2 copies of the same game.

What I fear is going to happen is companies will use this to withhold content so they can make a "remastered" or " definitive" edition for next gen.
