1.) Game is Unfinished/ Broken
Developers are lazier than ever this generation. They can legally ship out unfinished games and just patch in the "finish" with months of updating. Many games have first day patches. Hell some games cant even play the multiplayer the first few days.
2.) Game is Expensive
Unlike other hobbies, you can always count on the price of video games to drop. Some old games and special editions will actually go up in value with time. Some games drop in price within months. Especially today with yearly releases, you just have to be patient enough to wait one year and you'll get a better complete anniversary edition for less, which leads us to the last reason.
3.) Content is Missing
DLC is the norm in today's gaming market. Developers just dont release one game anymore. They release the game then offer DLC to add content bit by bit over the game's life spam. By waiting a year for the anniversary edition, you get all bits and pieces of the Full complete game at about half the cost. games with user generated content is missing on launch day. Getting the game later will guranteed to give you a better first impression with all the user creativity, at a better bargain.
