If you are here, please give me some advice. I got a new game for Christmas, and I really like it, but my little brother is always taking over the console and refuses to give it back to me. He has actually played with my gift more than I have. Got any suggestions on how fix this?

Depends if he is older or younger. If he's younger a simple kick in the head would do the trick. Being a younger brother myself, being put in a headlock and given a noogy when I did something that my siblings did not agree with was the norm. It was purely overpowering and I would be forced to concede. A roundhouse kick to the cranium however, worked best. If he is older this technique is ineffective.
I highly suggest the classic 'if-I-can't-you-can't'. This essentially entails you hiding your game and a minimum of 2 of his/2 shared ones that you know he enjoys and not give in when faced with conflict. This unfortunately leaves you susceptible to the good old sooky la-la dob you in. I suggest blackmailing him if this is the case by saying "if you tell mother or father I will destroy the games and then you." This is much more effective if you are holding some form of a weapon. Anything ranging from a pillow (bricked or not, ultimately your decision) to a MAC-10.
If you truly do not believe any of these will work, it can really just come down to channelling your inner demon by biting his arm until he lets go of the controller.
If you truly do not believe any of these will work [revisited], then I suggest simply talking to your parents about it. You are entitled to have an equal amount of time on the console, and if the game was a gift for you, he shouldn't even be playing it if that is what you wish. It is unlikely your parents won't help you out, but if this is the case, there is nothing stopping you from saving money and purchasing a console for yourself.
I get grounded for being violent, so part 1 is not gonna work.
He is a huge tattletale so if I black-mail him, I would be grounded for a month, and the same if I hide his games.
I have talked to my parents, and they say that while it is my game, it is our console.
Getting my own console is out of the question.
For the most part I was kidding about the violence.
Just hide your game when you aren't playing it then, and ask your parents for time limits per day, so at most he plays 2 hours and at most you play 2 hours. If they don't agree with that then unfortunately your parents have a favourite child, and that child is not you. If it was really a 'shared' console then this shouldn't be a problem.
There is literally nothing anyone here can do to help you. None of us are your parents, nor are your parents going to take anything anyone here has to say into consideration.
Honestly violence most likely won't work like you said so I would simply tell your parents. It can get frustrating although I am the youngest so I can't say that I completely relate but I can say that it is important that the parents know that you aren't getting the intended purpose out of something that they may have given you

Why is getting your own out of the question?
We have time limits but he never follows them, and, because it is a "shared" console, if I hide the game I would get grounded.

Yeah, at this point there is nothing I can do. I have asked him, I have requested that it be separate, so there is nothing I can do at this point.
Basically, end of the thread.
