I'm always 2-3 years behind on new consoles for this very reason.

You say that like Nintendo ever puts their games on sale

I do the same, but not because of sales, but because it takes 2-3 years for the high seas to swell with jolly rogers.

Used physical copies are usually cheap.

I've never found any. They're always similar in price to digital. Which is better than digital, imo, but still. The used market charges a lot because it can.

The nintendo switch, released 8 years ago now, was the first console to never have a price drop. PS5 and XBOX series did not need to be convinced to join that particular trend
