This is one weird thread.
Somebody essentially feels gaming is a waste of his time, so he's looking for validation for selling the system that successfully takes him away from 'real life', while keeping the one that doesn't. Am I reading this right?
It seems the logical first step would be to get rid of whatever's gathering dust first if you don't have time for two systems. Then, after that, if you don't have or want time for the one remaining, get rid of that, too.
I'm not sure why the advice of others is needed here, though. If gaming is too low-brow a hobby, just move on.

I agree with you, as I too don't understand all of the "What should I do?" & "What games should I get next?" threads. If you don't know, then don't do anything or get any new games. Everyone's situation, life, priorities, and interests are different. I have a wife, 3 boys (7, 5, and 2), and 50+ hr/week job, and I still find time to game. If I don't have time for one of my hobbies, I pick & choose. I'm not trying to bash or sound harsh, it just doesn't make sense to me.

Well this thread sure got some interesting replies. Pretty sad that so many folks have a negative view of reading. I don't need validation from any posters on what to do, I just thought it might be interesting to get some other people's viewpoints on my situation. It's really not THAT big of a deal, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it on a message board!
Anyway, after further thought, I think I'm going to keep it. I think it's actually CoD4 that's taking up my time, not really XBOX. I'm sure it will run its course like all games eventually do. Thanks for the replies!
