This is mostly just a terminology issue. By old guard I mean people who were content with the direction the video game industry was going before the DS released. This cannot be rigidly defined by age. I would agree a lot of the Nintendo specific backlash on forums and the like come from people who have only ever known the Sony dominated era. The same was true when the Playstation first hit the market though, and the demographic of gaming started changing. Video game enthusiasts seem to resent any shift to include a wider audience.

Ah, the good old days when we all hated those newfangled Madden players with a passion that bordered on insanity. Now they're the "hardcore"!
