It certainly is a common occurrence, but I don't see many households dropping another $200 on top of the cost of the PS5. If this existed back in the days, my parents would have told me to either play something else/go outside, or move the console to my room.

Kids aren't the only ones with gaming consoles. And I already countered the idea of putting a console on a different TV.

Again, the price point may be high, but it's literally not much more than the cost of a screen plus a controller.
