If this is about NEO/Scorpio then no, it's not a problem. you can buy the ps4/xb1.

If a new generation console launches at $600 then it is a problem because there is no alternative.

It is about those consoles!

 

I like gaming and I actually spend way too much for them but for the most part, they've always been cheap enough to be an impulse buy.  Then, the PS3 launched at $600 (for the high end console). Later I got an XBO for $500.  That's a little outside of the realm of "I've got a little extra in my pocket. Sure, why not?"

 

It just seems like gaming is slowly creeping beyond the realm of a hobby anyone can enjoy and becoming something much more. Toss in the barrier of paid internet and the obligation to stay connected and I can see many people who loved gaming being left out in the cold.

 

Even now, I have family that haven't even been able to scrape up ps4 money, even though they'd love one.

Have you thought of buying one to them? (since I know you're a generous guy with good income)
