This thread was first started back in Sept. With only half a month left, I feel even more safe (if that was possible ) in saying NO.
I already have an Ipod Touch 5. It's going on 4 years old, but I stopped using dramatically around the 3.5yo mark. We're talking about 30 min. to hours daily, down to perhaps a few times a month. It's battery still goes down, noticeably, I need to recharge it only every 1.5 weeks as opposed to daily when doing heavier gaming.
I was going to get an IpT6 when it first came out to get updated on everything, but when I realized it still had the same, dinky, 4" screen, I declined. My first IpT was the IpT3. Every new one (IpT4 and 5) has been so I could get an upgrade to the screen (Retina and 3.5" to 4" respectively). I may get still one, but back then it was an "insta-buy", now it's gotta be less than $50, new, and for 128 GB storage, minimum.
For gaming, I've migrated over to a used Ipad Air that I bought half off as a sort of "midlife crisis", but I've been using it A LOT over the last year. I suppose it helps that THAT is on ios8, whereas the IpT5 is still on ios7. I miss being able to play games on the go (since the IpT5 is easily pocket able), but I have realized that I probably shouldn't be playing THAT many games on the road anyways.
For more gaming, I've also been buying more games for Android whenever possible
For music player, Ipod Classic, 80 GB. Having a tactile scroll wheel makes it usable without having to look at the screen, and while Iph, Ipod Touches, and Ipads have caught up in storage capacities, they're quite expensive. With everyone clamoring for Iph and Ipads, Ipod Classics have become "obsolete"/less desirable, which means if I have to replace it, I should be able to get it for fairly cheap.
