Why gamers don't buy a game because it is for another console?

you need to learn how to negotiate with your parents.

For example, when you go to buy school books, tell them they cost 4x what they really do. Then spend the other 3/4 of the money on a new console. In my case it was a 32MB geforce 2 (when those bastards were $300) haha. SO many years ago now.

I don't think my parents could be easily tricked like that.
