IIRC, what you said above differs from state to state. I think the state of Georgia the age limit is 16 (if you are 17 and boinking a 16 year old, off to the slammer you go).
Not everyone plays PC games and like the experience. You might because you are surperior to the majority of U.S. population with your technical skills. You represent a minor percentage of the population as a whole. Most people in this world are stupid as hell: they don't know or don't want to setup PC games. That do want to do anything technical just to have a little fun. While you, on the other hand, are God's gift to Earth. You compile kernels to get a hard-on and head out to silicon valley just to catch a glimpse of Mr. L.T. himself.
Consoles are fun. They are meants to be played in the living room, with other people, preferably with aids of alcohol and other substances. PC games are different; they are traditionally enjoyed in solitude in the physical sense of the word; the on-line aspect is virtual.
People don't buy consoles, and by extension, their games because they can't get it on PC. They buy them because they look cool and they look fun. That's why consoles succeed. All this techno-jargon about the specs of different consoles? They don't care. As long as the console looks cool, the games looks playable, people will buy them. The kids will want them, the parents will buy them for the kids, and the corporations will make lots of money. Even if the console has the Microsoft Logo on top of it.
Elitists make me sick. 'Cause I know I'm better than them.

Biggest pet peeve. If you're going to misspell, at least do it on something more difficult than 'definitely.'
