its ok when you have got the "10 year plan" lol

But who actually wants to play a last-gen console when a next-gen console comes out? OK maybe for the first or 2 years but after that you really wanna have a next-gen console.

 

 

Lots of people. That's why the virtual console has been so successful and there's an enormous world-wide retro scene with thousands of websites and dozens of magazines dedicated to it.

 

But the virtual console is 2 gens back and farther, not last gen.

Are you suggesting people don't want to play last-gen games but do want to play them as soon as they become 2 gens ago? The Wii supports Gamecube games which have seen a big boost in the second hand market and Nintendo are talking about re-releasing some such as the Pikmin 1 & 2 combined pack. 360 owners usually have several original Xbox games to play on it. There was a big outcry among gamers when the PS3 dropped bc with the PS2.

Most gamers are focused on the current-gen, but most are also keen to play good games whatever gen they come from.
