With games now jumping from one generation of consoles to the next, when is the best time to play something? Is there ever a best time?

Of course they do. They just don’t require you to buy the game again (typically). Or if they do, it’s at a deeply-discounted price via DLC.
Then I think you missed the point of the article.
…is the point of the article not that you have to time your purchase according to the hardware?
Author ponders where is the perfect time to play a game because they get improved versions so commonly now. What platforms they release on isn’t that relevant because I’m not going to be able to play Crysis remaster on a Nvidia GeForce 8800GT like the original, no?
They get “improved” versions that they have to buy a second time on new hardware.
I’ve no idea, but its very plausible if you bought higher end hardware at the time.
There is backwards compatibility on all consoles at the moment, and it’s likely to become a standard moving on. I can play Crysis from X360 or remaster from XOne on my Series X.
My point with that 8800GT is that you need new hardware for the remaster anyway so it’s pretty much like consoles.
