Would more gaming get in the way of my academic mark?

I own a Wii right now, and want to get a PS3 or Xbox360, but I'm worried if buying it will affect my school mark. I'min high school with all honors and want to do well, but i really want a console. I usually get straight A's, but if i get a PS3 or Xbox, would it affect my mark in any way?I sometimes over play too many video games.Btw, i only play on weekends

no, buying the consoles itself have no affect on your grades. even playing more hours of gaming will have little affects. The source of the problem would simply be with you. By that i mean any change in your grades would be your own fault, not the games. If you wish to buy another system then by all means do so.

But if he does not buy the console then there is no way his grades will go down.

If he has the console there will always be the issue of playing or doing homework.

Yes it is up to him, like you said he know if he can handle it.

The consoles and games themselves won't be the problem. They'll get in the way of your grades if you let them.

it all depends on how long you play. if you spend neally all your time on a game then you better wanna remember stuff for tests if u dont study!

If you have strong time-management skills, you will be fine. If you are like me, and don't have those skills in high school, avoid games that will suck you in and stick to casual gaming.
