You have your answer.  (since you have 3 current-gen consoles, as well as a new laptop, chances are that you have money exploding your wallet)

yeah, this is the real issue.
also, i would suggest, instead of having all three systems, which is obviously and blatantly over-indulgent, you should figure out a small trip you would like to make (a comic/anime convention will change your life (no not really, but theyre fun)) or you should find a hobby you would like to invest in. for example... this super sweet goped that sounds like you're riding a chainsaw around.

not only do you have fun outside, you learn how to maintain a very simple engine. win/win!
