“you dont need a TV you need a monitor of some sort.
harmful, killing your kids…big words. Care to explain?”
I didnt use those words, but I can explain them. Kids get very easily addicted and if not addicted then “attached” to these systems. This often lead to kids slacking off with regards to homework as well as the kids day dreaming about their games during class. Expect your kids grades to go down if you buy one of these time wasters. Especially if he has daily access. It wrecks ones ability to focus. This has all been proven by studies.
Additionally, many of these games contain graphic violence, vulgar language and in some cases pornographic images.
If a parent allows these systems into the home, be prepared to become a policeman and be strict over how much time you let them play. Additionally, be prepared to have to monitor the games they buy and borrow from friends.
Oh did I mention many of these systems have wifi internet capabilities? Which responsible parent would give unfiltered access to wifi internet to their child.
Basically theres no real incentive for a parent to want to have this in their house.
