I always figured people who owned video games systems as something more than a casual (Wii Sports) device would have some knowledge of the history of gaming. I've played video games since the early 90's when my hands were big enough to play a Gameboy. I've always known what consoles were available - major players, at least. Sega, Sony, Microsoft, and, most importantly (to the young me), Nintendo. I thought the XBox would fail and Microsoft had no business being in the console business. Hey, I was a young fanboy, what else would you expect?
