The 8th generation of consoles is about to end, as next year will see the release of the 9th generation. The Switch is selling the best at the moment, but the PS4 has had an incredible run and is gonna end up the biggest console from this generation, most likely. The Switch will still be around when the new Xbox and Playstation exists however, so if it can keep selling like this i guess it got a shot.
Playstation 4 - 96 mill. total
- Out for 5 years and 7 months.
Average Sold Per Year -
16,8 Million.
Nintendo Switch - 35 mill. total
- Out for 2 years and 3 months.
Average Sold Per Year -
15,2 Million.
Xbox One - 42 mill. total
- Out for 5 years and 7 months.
Average Sold Per Year -
7,3 Million.

People are super into wasting hours and hours. It's so baffling.

Woah boy, easy now.
A couple of moments here and there is light years difference between hours and hours of just staring off and not getting s--- done. I've been injured before and stuck, video games were wonderful during those times. But as a grown adult, to sit and play games for hours a day or even a week, one has to sacrifice something else in life.

Which begs the question...
How do you arrive at the conclusion 'People are super into wasting hours and hours. It's so baffling.' based off a statistic as generalized as total gaming console sales since inception?
If the thread was about number of hours sunk into gaming on a yearly/monthly/weekly/daily/hourly basis by the average person, I'd understand your response.

Not really.. I like how you say a waste of time just because it is not something you do.. I play.. When kids are asleep and into the late hours of the night on the weekends.. What else should I do then? Imagine a world where not everyone does what you do... such a strange concept.

You should do what all heroic fathers do... sit in the dark, alone, drinking endless amounts of whiskey and dreading the hangover which will await you in the morning.

The game distracts you from the most important part.
Dreading the next morning.

Some people have the need to point out that games are for nerds the moment they see the topic brought up, because they wanna pretend be the hard working upstanding citizen who works hard everyday and has no time for bulls---, while they toil away on the american dream.
Meanwhile, they sit 6 hours in front of the TV everyday.

Work, gym, significant other, hobbies. Working on and improving my home. Hanging out at said home and relaxing in my hot tub, garden, zen area, etc. Talking with friends and neighbors that come by to chill out. I actually love video games as I said, I just dont have the time nor do I want to sacrifice any of my time to play them.
Who said I don't listen to music or watch television in the evening? Its hard for me to get through a full movie without falling asleep though. I have music on at my home and at my office all the time though. Music doesnt require me to sit in front of the screen?
My wife would look at me like I was nuts if I were to close myself into a room for hours at a time and just click controllers and stare at a screen. Even more if I were to drink while doing so.
Perhaps we just have different lifestyles.

Because they are into wasting away hours.

Games is just another form of experience, just like music, or sitting in a zen area or tub or whatever you do. Almost all people nowadays who talk about others wasting time spend hours watching the TV or sit on their phone everyday, wasting time just the same.
You are the one coming into a game forum and describe games like "just click controllers and stare at a screen" like you were born in the 20's and just discovered VHS tapes.

Its nothing like music.
Can you play video games while driving? Of course you cant.
The things I described i can do while being social. And not the social experience you get from talking to someone over the mic. Engaging with people in front of you is much more satisfying than any form of experience over the net.
No, I'm coming into a game sub forum that is a small extension of a mma forum. And all I'm doing is voicing an opinion, no reason to get upset and go full Harldr.
You keep reaching for this excuse for your video game time..."hurf durf, others look at the phones and watch tv"
Good for them. Once again, same situation, occupying your time staring at a screen, talking to others online. You kind of just made my initial point for me...thanks! It really is crazy how many people are into wasting time, isnt it?
I'm all for some forum posting and some online surfing. I just cant dedicate multiple hours long blocks to doing so. Why me mentioning this would cause so many obviously productive people offense, beyond me. Once more, perhaps we just have different lifestyles.

Again... the thread is regarding overall sales of the CONSOLES themselves. Not about hours spent utilizing said consoles.
You just said that you own a gaming console and utilized it while injured, so by your own logic you're one of the 'baffling' time wasters that the thread is referencing.
It must be tough... not understanding your own self.
