Tom, Absolutely. And, this isn't meant to be rude, because we are going through the same issues currently, but the only fix is better wireless.
On the other hand, when students play from these consoles, they're really setting your team up behind the eight ball. These devices love the 2.4 spectrum and in dorms like ours (ranging from 20-100 yrs old), it's tough to make it work. The issue is unlikely a gaming specific issue. Gamers are just going to be the first ones to notice, and then speak up, about anything going on with the wireless. Do a packet capture and have a look at the retry rate where people are complaining. I think that's a good starting point.
