Very true -- less competition for 'spending cash'. But I will say, there were game systems in the late 70's and early 80's -- Atari, Commodore, PCs for sure -- which was VERY addicting -- games were $25 to $40 then too. No 'Gamestops' then...
Its all what younger folks today feel is important. I will say, seeing younger folks owning Camaro's and the like is awesome -- when the bug hits you, wow. My daughter (20) and my youngest son (17) want a Challenger and a Mustang (I know yuck ;o)... but they see what I'm doing and how much fun I'm having -- who knows? They also see I'm working extra to get what I want -- want that to rub off on them -- time will tell!
