Absolutley not. I am 26 and my first love of games came from going over my cousins and playing his atari 2600. I got a colecovision when I was about 5-6 years old.
One thing I believe to be true is that Sony,Sega and MS need to thank Nintendo for saving console gaming(though it seems most of those companies have lost their share of $$$ due to it). PC and possibly Mac gaming would be the 2 main platforms if Nintendo didnt make the NES/Famicom.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
