I mean really, think about it. Imagine you playing games on the NES. Now imagine you playing then on the SNES. Now imagine the N64 and PSone...then the GCN, PS2, and Xbox. In retrospective, what time period did you have the most fun?
Yes, but take a kid who has only ever seen a PS2, GC, or Xbox and then sit them infront of an NES. Do you think the answer would be the same? We love the NES so much because it was our first and we had never seen anything like it. Videogame systems these days aren't so new anymore. It tough to find game concepts that people have never seen or played in some way before, therefore, we are getting harder and harder to impress. Also, age makes you a more demanding customer.
