PS4s are the new wide screen TV?

I ask, because when I was young, we bought dad big screen TVs when we first actually spent our own money on a substantial gift...

Moving this video to Mordhaus's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Spiritual down-vote from me. Hadn't seen this video, but someone just shared it on Facebook and this was my reply (I think inline with @JustSaying's feelings):

Good kid, but their parenting values are not something I can agree with. He ostensibly taught the boy "My fun is so important to me that you should disregard your own birthday and anything else you need or want or that your family needs or even saving your money, and instead buy me a PS4 so I can play video games." A child should never be in a position where he feels any responsibility to be the provider of his father's several-hundred-dollar play things.

Yes, it was nice of the boy; I just feel bad for him. He's supposed to be the one being treated like a child by his father, the provider, not vice versa.

But... to each his own.

I came searching for a different, but related video where the parents did surprise their son with an XBOX (I think), but instead of being excited, the boy was concerned that his parents spent money on it that they couldn't afford to lose.
