[Multi-Console] Is it weird?

[chopstickchakra]

I'll spend a few hundred on a new game console if there's a particular game I really wanna play but I can't pull the trigger on a $100 new phone so I can play Pokémon Go.

Maybe because it's an app? I don't think it's weird.

Pokemon GO is an awesome concept but nothing too special when it comes to execution. Just a combination of geolocation mapping and AR both of which aren't really "wow" factor on their own but combined they form a nice package.

Why do you need a new phone tho? Pretty sure you could run it on anything. + you don't really need the bracelet.

I have a Sasmsung Stratosphere 2 and they don't run the 4.4 KitKat OS that is required to run PokeGo. Probably too old of a phone for them to spend time coding upgrades for still.

Why would you waste 100$ for that ?

There are so many others things which you can do for those 100$.

Why would you waste $100 on a game console? It's not as if the phone would solely function for Go, it would also serve as a phone upgrade. I'm not going to I was just reflecting on how we don't think much of it for a game console but in this situation it comes across odd to even consider.

Oh damn, then I can't play it either.
