Your mistake was talking to your cousin about it. Try getting your parents or girlfriend, a younger relative or a female friend you're not romantically involved with yet.

People make the mistake of thinking there's only one audience for gaming and that's basically it. I got a PS3 and I can tell you, nothing on there is really interesting. The hype and praise is about technology and cinematics. Most people aren't crazy about those two things, but some people are, and they run the status quo of gaming unfortunately.

I have DS and almost got a Wii, but decided on the PS3 recently. I got very disappointed quite quickly, played a bunch of demos and games. None of the games they overhype are worth playing, they're not really fun or charming. It's all a bunch of clunky, not straightforward and stereotyped stuff. Which some people love, but a lot of people don't. Try reaching out to them for playing the games you like, if that doesn't work then just play single player.
