I have a little cousin, about 9. I saw the progression happening in real time, DS to DSiXL, Pokémon Diamond to White, New Super, Mario Kart, the works. Then something changed. This past Christmas, his parents bought him an iPod Touch. Angry Birds Fever was upon him.

The iPod broke within a week. They replaced it with a 3DS, Mario Kart 7, and 3D Land.

I think maybe there's some kind of poetic metaphor to be made here, but I'm too lazy to take it the rest of the way.
