SNES, good memories, great games. I still have it to this day.

BTW, looking at a someone's first console (+ their age sometimes) you can tell to what current console they have loyalty.

Not for the 2600 folks. We've seen too many companies rise and fall to call allegiance to any one brand.

At one point or another, my favorite console has been produced by Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, or Microsoft.


I think you're dead on. The 2600 and older folks are usually beyond the grasp of brand loyalty, as

1) You kind of grow out of such things

2) There have been too many good games on too many consoles through all the generations that it would be nearly impossible at this point not to have stuck strictly to manufacturer forever and

3) I think people tend to gravitate towards what was popular in their youth


That those systems are dead already has nothing to do with it?... kidding kidding

I agree, especially to the third point. In my experience, the age group of the fans go like this: ~10 - Xbox, ~15 - PS, ~20 - Nintendo, >25 - PC/None. This is all anecdotal of course.
