The other thing I haven't seen mentioned is the cost commitment. A PS4/5 and new game can be $400-600, not including accessories. My HBO subscription comes free with my cell phone plan.

I’m not sure about other consoles, but a switch game costs $60. If you only have one game, you’ll probably get bored of it eventually. Two is iffy… it really depends what kinds of games you have. Games like Animal Crossing can always be played, whereas an objective/story(?) based game like an individual Pokémon or Super Mario game can only be played a time or two before it gets old and it needs to be set aside for awhile so you can enjoy it again. 

Overall, 3 games would be ideal as a start, so you can tack on another $180 to that. If you have multiple people who want to play, add on about $60 per controller.
