It isn't a matter of my defending the gaming consoles - I'm not buying one of the newfangled ones for my kids any time soon. It's a matter of my distaste for the outrageous spectacle of modern proms, and the implicit assumption that participating in it is an unmet need among kids who can't afford actual necessities, a need which can be met by charitable donors.
Unless I carry my gaming console with me to impress passers-by, it does not serve the same purpose as a bacchanalian prom.
