I never asked for an NES, Genesis, or DS but I received all of those. My GF never asked for an NES but she also got one. And my nephew (7 yr old) never asked for a 360, but he just got one for Xmas, and he had a ps2 before that, which he never asked for. Also, my gf's sister never asked for a wii, and I gave her mine.

In short, I don't know how well your argument holds up about children asking their parents. I think parents decide based on price, for the most part.

Maybe just me and everyone i know is spoiled then cause i was always asked what i wanted. but what % of total weekly sales do you think is parents buying there kid the console.  The average age for a 360/ps3 user is not 14 years old.  The vast majority of the people who are purchasing these conosles are of age to have a job and are  buying themselves the console.  Im well in my 20's now but i can't remember the last time mommy bought me something game related Maybe a ps1?  Maybe like when i was 14
