I know not buying a game console will not prevent all invasions on my privacy. However, there's a chance I could get mauled by a bear. There's a better chance of getting attacked by a bear if I have one in my living room. Likewise, I could be playing a game on Xbox One. I get a phone call, and put the game on pause. Yet, the camera and microphone is still on. So, during the course of the conversation, I get into a political discussion. Out of frustration, I say, "Someone should kill the President!" If the NSA was listening, do you think that they would act on that?
Security and privacy are not on the opposite end of the same spectrum. You can reasonably secure a country without invading everybody privacy. We simply need reasonable check and balances with the NSA. As in, don't spy on someone unless you have reasonable suspicion to do so. We don't have that check and balance in place, and that is what causing a lot of people anxiety.
