Why does it bother you if people who want game consoles buy them?

Non-transparent pricing (or non-transparent anything) makes a market worse/less efficient. Regulation to make things more transparent is always better for all good-faith market participants.

I'm not convinced that the average customer of consoles is considering the tradeoffs fully, and even if they are it distores the market away from freedom since the average customer doesn't see the long term effects of freedom being restricted.
