Being a college student I can see that typical college students (not sure how typical you are income or more importantly parent's income wise) shouldn't have the disposable money to buy a $600 video game system or HDTV's but most do anyways. I can also see first-hand that college students aren't the best at understanding what constitutes the best present and future value of something though none would ever admit it.
You don't need an HDTV for nextgen games, and I don't see the value in that yet. However, assuming all college students can't understand the relative values of 2 or 3 consoles is absurd. I've seen first-hand those that can and those that can't, just like every other demographic.
