no why the hell would you? that stuff is for casuals who can only play games in small doses

You should probably read.  It doesn't sound like they are buying them for the games, but just upgrading their phones or tablets.

Thus they are spending $200-600 on that and thus not having the funds to buy a next gen system.

basically they are going "should I get a PS4, or buy a new phone which is exactly like my old phone but a higher number thus the new 'cool' thing"

They choose the phone.  Not for the games.  Gaming forums make the bad assumption that everything in life is related to games.  Even the PC owners who spend more money on their pc's aren't ONLY gaming on their PC.  There is a crap load more they want the more power for and use it for.  Not to mention doing things like the internet and other things that consoles can and other devices can do is infinately easier, faster, and better on a PC.
