People will complain about console prices being too high, but then will spend a few thousand to go on vacation for 1 week. Consoles give you plenty of bang for the buck, no matter the price.

I never did understand this line of argument since it's almost always an apples to hamburgers comparison. I might spend $350 on a single gold coin, but spending $100 on a penny made of zinc with a coating of copper is madness unless said penny is some weird mint rarity. Spending a couple grand going someplace I've never been that's far away is worth it, spending $500 on a video game player is something I'm going to look a little harder at, especially when returns are diminishing with every generation.

What's not to understand? Vacation is an escape from your everyday life, and so are video games. They give your mind time to relax and also to enjoy yourself. In the end, i guess it comes down to what you personally see more value in.
