Lol. Since when are teens spending their own money?
Teens don't have money, their parents have. If they can have a console or not lies with them. Most of the time it's not even about money why they can't have one.


I think it depends on your community. For me growing up most kids got jobs at 15-17, heck I worked odd jobs since I was 8 (lawn care being easy one).  I actually had great deal of disposable income as a teenager even with saving for school and investing 15% a week.  For me University were lean years paying for books and living expenses. 

I would say kids (under 13) that there was much pleading and selling of the NES or SNES to my folks and their valuation meant everything.  To them a video game console was not worth more than $150 regardless of how cool the games were or how advanced the tech was.
