I tend to obsess over a single game at a time, completing the main story and most of the side-content before moving on. Sometimes I'll alternate regularly between a console and a handheld, mostly for occasions when a console must be shared. Buying new games is an uncommon occasion that is saved until I'm ready to start a new one.... For that matter its a bit out of character to jump at new releases due to low budget. Of course sometimes the price simply will not drop far enough to make the wait worth it so I'll snatch it immediately.
